We are seeking a Senior Enterprise Cloud Software Engineer skilled in automation engineering, artificial intelligence, and cloud operations. This role represents a strategic evolution of two traditionally separate disciplines-Enterprise Cloud Software Development and Cloud Operations Engineering-into a single, highimpact engineering role that designs, builds, and intelligent, automationfirst cloud platforms at enterprise scale.
The Senior Enterprise Cloud Platform Engineer role redefines operations as software, embedding reliability, governance, security, and resilience directly into cloud services through code, automation, and AIassisted intelligence.
You will help drive the future of cloud operations by creating programmable platforms, selfhealing systems, and AIaugmented operational workflows across AWS and Azure, replacing manual toil with scalable, policydriven execution.
Mission of the Role
- Transform Cloud Operations from reactive support into proactive, softwaredefined platforms
- Fuse software engineering rigor with operational ownership
- Leverage automation, InfrastructureasCode, and AI to eliminate manual work at scale
- Design systems that are secure, observable, resilient, and selfoptimizing by default
- Act as a technical bridge between Engineering, Cloud Operations, Security, and Architecture
Technical Skills & Competencies
Enterprise Cloud Software Engineering
- Design and build enterprisegrade cloud services, APIs, and automation platforms using a Pythonfirst stack (FastAPI/Django/Flask), with UI components where needed.
- Develop cloudnative tooling and services using Azure and AWS SDKs to standardize provisioning, lifecycle management, and operational workflows.
- Apply modern software engineering practices: clean architecture, SOLID principles, automated testing, and CI/CDdriven delivery.
- Design contractfirst APIs (REST/GraphQL) and eventdriven services to enable platform extensibility and integration.
Cloud Operations Engineering (SoftwareDefined)
- Own the full lifecycle of cloud platforms: design, build, operate, optimize, and decommission.
- Engineer automationfirst infrastructure operations, eliminating manual provisioning, patching, scaling, and recovery.
- Implement InfrastructureasCode frameworks using Terraform (modules, state management, drift detection) and supporting tools (Ansible, ARM/Bicep, CloudFormation).
- Build and operate highavailability, faulttolerant, and disasterresilient architectures across hybrid and multicloud environments.
- Lead L3/L4 troubleshooting, rootcause analysis, and reliability improvements for complex cloud incidents.
AIDriven & Intelligent Operations
- Apply AIassisted CloudOps practices including anomaly detection, predictive insights, event correlation, and automated remediation.
- Design and operate intelligent runbooks and AI agents that execute operational decisions safely and audibly.
- Integrate approved GenAI and ML services into operational workflows while adhering to governance and responsible AI standards.
- Use AI tools to accelerate development, testing, documentation, and operational analysis.
DevOps, CI/CD & Governance
- Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and platform automation using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or GitLab.
- Implement policyascode, security guardrails, tagging standards, and costoptimization controls.
- Embed observability, APM, logging, and SLO/SLA practices into platforms from day one.
- Ensure platforms are built to be operable by design, not retrofitted for operations.
Leadership & Engineering Influence
- Serve as a technical leader and mentor, elevating engineering and CloudOps maturity.
- Collaborate closely with Architecture, Security, Compliance, and Product teams.
- Establish standards, patterns, documentation, and reusable frameworks used across the enterprise.
- Drive continuous improvement, reliability engineering, and operational excellence.
