Job Description:
Cloud Platform Engineer

Our client is investing in the evolution of its cloud environment and is seeking a Cloud Platform Engineer to support that effort. This individual will play a hands-on role in improving infrastructure through automation, increasing system reliability, and helping teams adopt more modern deployment and operational practices.

  • Evaluating current-state platforms and implementing improvements around resiliency, efficiency, and scalability
  • Partnering with development teams to support adoption of CI/CD and better deployment practices
  • Contributing to efforts that modernize legacy systems, including containerization and cloud-native approaches
  • Strengthening monitoring and observability using tools such as CloudWatch, Grafana, or similar


Background & Experience
  • Several years of hands-on experience building and supporting cloud infrastructure in AWS environments
  • Strong proficiency in Infrastructure as Code, specifically Terraform (or equivalent tooling used at scale)
  • Experience developing automation through scripting (Python, Bash, or similar) to reduce manual operational work
  • Familiarity with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes) and their use in modern application platforms
  • Experience implementing or supporting CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment workflows
  • Exposure to monitoring and observability tools (e.g., CloudWatch, Grafana, Dynatrace) to improve reliability and performance
  • Working experience within Agile teams applying DevOps or DevSecOps practices
