We are supporting an enterprise client building the next generation of their cloud foundation and are looking for a hands‑on platform engineer to lead its evolution. This role focuses on transforming an early‑stage cloud environment into a resilient, automated, and secure multi‑cloud platform that scales with the business. You will be responsible for designing, engineering, and operating shared cloud foundations across AWS and Azure, with a strong emphasis on landing zone architecture, Infrastructure as Code, and long‑term platform sustainability. This is a builder role for someone who enjoys creating durable systems that enable dozens of teams to move faster and safer in the cloud.

What You’ll Do

Own the ongoing evolution of the platform through upgrades, refactoring, and technical debt reduction

Infrastructure Automation

Develop and operate cloud foundations using Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Create and maintain CI/CD pipelines for platform deployments using Git‑based workflows
Automate environment provisioning, baseline configuration, and decommissioning
Ensure all platform changes are repeatable, tested, versioned, and auditable

Security, Governance & Observability

Implement preventative and detective controls using native cloud governance mechanisms
Embed identity, access management, and least‑privilege patterns into the platform by design
Enable centralized monitoring, logging, and observability at the platform level
Support audit, risk, and compliance requirements through automated controls and standards

Collaboration & Technical Ownership

Serve as the primary hands‑on engineer responsible for platform design and reliability
Partner closely with architecture, security, networking, and application teams
Translate architectural direction into working, production‑ready platform capabilities
Contribute to internal standards, documentation, and enablement materials

What We’re Looking For

Required Experience

Strong hands‑on background in cloud, infrastructure, or platform engineering
Demonstrated experience designing and operating AWS and/or Azure landing zones
Advanced proficiency with Terraform and Infrastructure as Code best practices
Experience managing multi‑account or multi‑subscription cloud environments at scale
Solid understanding of:
Cloud networking patterns (hub‑and‑spoke, connectivity, DNS)
Identity and access control models
Enterprise cloud security and governance concepts
Software‑engineering mindset with experience in version control, modular design, and code review
Ability to work across teams and communicate platform standards clearly

Preferred Experience

Operating cloud platforms in regulated, audit‑sensitive, or enterprise environments
Familiarity with:
AWS account vending models (Control Tower, custom automation, or Terraform‑based approaches)
Azure management group and landing zone design patterns
Experience building automation and pipelines using GitHub Actions or similar tooling
Exposure to enterprise observability platforms and centralized monitoring solutions
Comfortable helping organizations transition from ad‑hoc cloud usage to standardized platforms
