Job Summary

We are seeking an Infrastructure Automation Engineer with deep Terraform expertise to design, build, and maintain the infrastructure-as-code foundations that power our cloud and hybrid environments. This role focuses on creating reusable Terraform modules, hardening pipelines, enforcing policy-as-code, and standardizing infrastructure delivery across multiple teams and cloud providers. The ideal candidate brings strong software engineering discipline to infrastructure work, has shipped production-grade Terraform at scale, and understands the operational realities of managing thousands of resources across many environments and accounts.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain modular, composable Terraform code that codifies the entire infrastructure estate across cloud accounts and environments
  • Build a library of well-tested, reusable Terraform modules with clear interfaces, semantic versioning, and comprehensive documentation
  • Implement Terraform automation pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Atlantis, Terraform Cloud, or Spacelift, with plan/apply gating, drift detection, and policy enforcement
  • Define and enforce policy-as-code using Sentinel, Open Policy Agent (OPA), Conftest, or Checkov to prevent insecure or non-compliant infrastructure changes
  • Manage Terraform state at scale with appropriate backend strategies, state locking, workspace organization, and disaster recovery patterns
  • Drive multi-account, multi-region, and multi-cloud infrastructure provisioning strategies with clear isolation, naming, and tagging standards
  • Implement infrastructure testing including unit tests with terraform-compliance, integration tests with Terratest, and policy tests across pull requests
  • Collaborate with security, networking, and platform teams to embed guardrails directly into reusable modules and pipelines
  • Standardize patterns for secrets management, identity federation, and least-privilege IAM through reusable Terraform abstractions
  • Lead migrations from legacy, ClickOps, or non-IaC infrastructure into managed Terraform footprints with minimal disruption
  • Drive cost optimization, tagging hygiene, and lifecycle management across the Terraform-managed estate
  • Mentor engineering teams on Terraform best practices, anti-patterns, and pull-request review standards
  • Maintain comprehensive runbooks, architecture diagrams, and onboarding materials for the infrastructure platform
  • Stay current with Terraform, OpenTofu, and broader IaC ecosystem developments and recommend adoption where beneficial

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
  • Five or more years of experience in cloud infrastructure or DevOps engineering, with significant Terraform focus
  • Deep, hands-on expertise authoring and maintaining production Terraform across at least one major cloud provider
  • Strong experience designing reusable Terraform modules with clean APIs and version discipline
  • Hands-on experience with Terraform state management, backends, and large-scale workspace organization
  • Strong scripting skills in Python, Go, or Bash
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure code and automated policy enforcement
  • Solid understanding of cloud networking, identity, and security primitives
  • Strong Git-based workflows including code review, branching, and release management
  • Excellent troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with multi-cloud Terraform (AWS Azure or AWS GCP)
  • Familiarity with Terragrunt, Atlantis, Spacelift, or env0
  • Experience with policy-as-code engines (Sentinel, OPA, Checkov)
  • Contributions to public Terraform modules or providers
  • Exposure to FinOps practices and tagging-driven cost governance
