Senior Lead System Engineer

Job Description

Job Title: Cloud Engineer (MidLevel)

Role Overview

We are looking for a Cloud Engineer to support and enhance our cloud infrastructure and container platforms. This role focuses on building and operating cloud infrastructure using Terraform, supporting Kubernetesbased platforms, and contributing to automation and deployment workflows using GitHub and GitLab.

The ideal candidate has handson experience working in cloud environments, is comfortable using Infrastructure as Code, and understands how modern platform teams use version control and CI/CD to deliver reliable infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

Cloud Infrastructure

• Support and maintain cloud infrastructure primarily on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), with exposure to AWS environments.
• Work with existing cloud architectures for compute, networking, storage, and identity.
• Assist with provisioning, configuration, and operational support of cloud services.
  
  

Infrastructure as Code & Automation

• Develop and maintain infrastructure using Terraform.
• Use version control best practices to manage infrastructure code.
• Contribute to automation pipelines using GitHub Actions and GitLab CI/CD.
• Help improve repeatability, reliability, and visibility of infrastructure deployments.
  
  

Kubernetes & Containers

• Support Kubernetes clusters and workloads in cloud environments.
• Deploy and manage applications and platform services using Helm.
• Assist with cluster operations, upgrades, and troubleshooting.
• Apply best practices around resource usage, scaling, and availability.
  
  

Version Control & Collaboration

• Work in shared repositories using GitHub and GitLab.
• Create and review pull/merge requests.
• Collaborate with other engineers using branching strategies and code review processes.
  
  

Scripting & Tooling

• Write and maintain scripts and tools using Bash, Python, NodeJS, or Go.
• Use scripting to automate common operational and deployment tasks.
  
  

Operations & Support

• Monitor infrastructure and platform health.
• Participate in incident troubleshooting and rootcause analysis.
• Maintain documentation, runbooks, and standard operating procedures.
  
  

Required Skills & Experience

• 36 years of experience in Cloud, Infrastructure, or Platform Engineering roles.
• Handson experience with cloud platforms, preferably GCP, with some AWS exposure.
• Strong working experience with Terraform.
• Practical experience supporting Kubernetes environments.
• Experience using GitHub and GitLab for version control and CI/CD.
• Familiarity with Helm for Kubernetes deployments.
• Experience with at least one scripting or programming language:
• Bash
• Python
• NodeJS
• Go
  

Nice to Have

• Experience with secrets management tools (e.g., Vault).
• Exposure to DevOps or SRE practices.
• Experience working in shared platform or managedservices teams.
• Cloud or Kubernetes certifications.
  
  

What This Is Not

• Not an architect role you'll work from existing patterns and standards.
• Not a pure DevOps role focus is infrastructure and platform operations.
• Not an entrylevel role handson experience is required.
  
  

What Success Looks Like In This Role

• Reliable Terraformbased infrastructure changes with minimal rework.
• Stable Kubernetes workloads and clean Helm deployments.
• Effective use of GitHub and GitLab for collaborative engineering.
• Reduced manual effort through scripting and automation.
• Clear documentation and operational ownership.
