Cloud Engineer

🚀 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.
