🚀 Senior Cloud & Automation Engineer (AWS / Terraform / Ansible)

📍 Culver City, CA (Hybrid)

💰 $140,000 – $180,000

We’re working with a globally recognised organisation operating at serious scale, looking to bring in a hands-on Cloud & Automation Engineer to support and evolve a complex, high-availability environment.

This isn’t a pure architect or a ticket-based support role — it’s a true engineering position where you’ll be building, automating, and improving cloud infrastructure across a large enterprise platform.

🔧 What you’ll be doing

Designing and maintaining AWS infrastructure (EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, Load Balancers, Auto Scaling)
Building and managing Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
Automating system configuration and deployments with Ansible
Supporting and optimising Linux environments (RHEL / Ubuntu / Amazon Linux)
Driving improvements across automation, reliability, and performance
Monitoring systems, handling incidents, and carrying out root cause analysis
Collaborating with engineering, security, and platform teams on deployments and changes

✅ What we’re looking for

Strong hands-on experience with AWS in production environments
Proven experience with Terraform (modules, state, scalable deployments)
Solid Ansible experience (playbooks, automation, config management)
Strong Linux administration background
Experience working in enterprise environments (not just greenfield/startups)
Good understanding of networking, security, and system performance

➕ Nice to have

Exposure to VMware, Citrix, or Nutanix environments
CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
Basic containerisation knowledge (Docker / Kubernetes)
Scripting with Bash or Python

💡 Why this role?

Work in a large-scale, complex environment where automation actually matters
High-impact role with real ownership — not just maintenance
Strong mix of cloud engineering + automation + platform reliability
Opportunity to influence how infrastructure is built and improved

If you’re someone who enjoys building clean, automated infrastructure in AWS and working in a fast-paced, enterprise environment — this is well worth a look.
