About the Software Development Company / The Opportunity:

Join a fast-moving company in the Software Development industry that builds and operates cloud-native applications and platforms. This role offers the opportunity to shape and run secure, scalable cloud infrastructure across multi-cloud environments while partnering with engineering teams to accelerate delivery. You will influence architecture, automation, cost-efficiency, and operational excellence for production-grade systems in a remote-first setting.

Responsibilities:

Design, deploy, and operate scalable, highly available cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP using IaC principles.
Build and maintain Terraform modules, GitOps pipelines, and CI/CD workflows to automate infrastructure provisioning and application delivery.
Manage container platforms using Kubernetes and Docker, including cluster lifecycle, upgrades, and observability integration.
Implement and enforce cloud and network security best practices, including VPC design, IAM policies, security groups, and vulnerability remediation.
Develop automation and tooling with Shell scripting and Python to streamline operational tasks and incident response.
Monitor system health with observability stacks, set meaningful SLIs/SLOs, and respond to production incidents to ensure reliability.
Drive FinOps and cloud cost optimization initiatives to right-size resources and implement effective cost governance.

Must-Have Skills:

Proven experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and working knowledge of multi-cloud environments.
Strong Infrastructure as Code experience, especially Terraform and module design.
Hands-on Kubernetes and container orchestration experience (cluster administration, Helm, operators).
Solid Linux system administration and scripting skills (Bash/Shell, Python).
Experience building CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows for automated deployments.
Practical knowledge of cloud security fundamentals: IAM, VPC, network segmentation, encryption, and compliance controls.

Nice-to-Have Skills:

Cross-cloud tooling experience (multi-cloud networking, hybrid connectivity).
Familiarity with observability and AIOps tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog) and alerting/incident management practices.
Experience with FinOps platforms and demonstrated success in cloud cost optimization.
Knowledge of advanced networking concepts and cloud-native security platforms (CASB, WAF, CSPM).
Certifications such as AWS Certified, Azure Administrator/Architect, or Google Professional Cloud Engineer.
