Platform Infrastructure / Multi-Cloud Software Engineer

Platform Infrastructure / Multi-Cloud Software Engineer

W2 Contract

Pay Rate: $60 - $70 per hour

Location: Seattle, WA - Hybrid Role

Job Summary:

We are seeking a hands-on Platform Infrastructure / Multi-Cloud Software Engineer to help build and operate production-grade services in AliCloud as part of a broader public-cloud expansion. This is more than a lift-and-shift migration.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Research AliCloud services and map them to application, infrastructure, networking, storage, identity, and data requirements.


• Build and configure new production and pre-production environments in AliCloud.


• Containerize applications and deploy, configure, troubleshoot, and operate workloads on Kubernetes or an equivalent managed offering.


• Modify application and service code where AliCloud does not provide direct parity with existing infrastructure or managed services.


• Design pragmatic year-one cloud solutions that get critical services running well, while preserving a path toward greater platform consistency as the environment matures.


• Automate infrastructure provisioning and application deployment. Manual production deployment should be minimized or eliminated.


• Evaluate managed database and data-service alternatives for workloads using technologies such as MongoDB, Cassandra, CockroachDB, or PostgreSQL-compatible systems.


• Support data migration, backup and restore, configuration, and operational integration for managed data services.


• Troubleshoot across compute, networking, storage, Kubernetes, application, and data layers.


• Implement and use observability through metrics, dashboards, logs, and alerts using tools such as Prometheus and Splunk or comparable platforms.


• Prototype competing technical options, document tradeoffs, recommend a direction, and drive implementation with limited day-to-day guidance.


• Collaborate with our engineering teams while independently owning the research and execution needed to move the migration forward.

Requirements and Qualifications:

• Strong production Kubernetes experience, including application deployment, Pod and resource troubleshooting, service-to-service connectivity, configuration, and operational telemetry.


• Strong public-cloud experience with AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Oracle Cloud, or another major public-cloud platform.


• Ability to ramp quickly on unfamiliar cloud technologies and independently research competing managed-service options.


• Software engineering experience in Go, Java, Python, or another general-purpose language. Most team needs are expected to favor Go, with some Java-aligned work.


• Experience with cloud infrastructure across compute, networking, and storage.


• Experience with managed database or data-service offerings and the application implications of changing underlying data platforms.


• Experience with CI/CD and automated deployment or infrastructure provisioning.


• Experience in troubleshooting production distributed systems across application and infrastructure boundaries.


• Understanding of monitoring, logging, alerting, capacity, reliability, and production-readiness practices.


• Strong self-starter behavior, technical research skills, written communication, and ability to operate effectively through ambiguity.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct AliCloud experience.


• Cloud-to-cloud migration, data-center-to-cloud migration, or experience standing up a new cloud environment from scratch.


• Experience modifying applications to accommodate differences between cloud-native managed services.


• Go development experience for backend and platform services.


• Java development experience for cloud service work.


• Experience with Prometheus, Splunk, Grafana, or similar observability tooling.


• Experience with identity and access management, secrets, or authorization platforms.


• Experience building deployment automation when an existing internal platform does not directly support the target cloud.


• Experience in environments where platform engineers are expected to write and maintain production software.
