Implement, configure, and perform continuous capacity planning of cloud resources, applications, and services, with a strong emphasis on FinOps principles to ensure cost efficiency and accountability. Apply expert knowledge in cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), cloud architecture patterns, infrastructure as code (IaC), and CI/CD pipelines. Guide, direct, and mentor junior cloud professionals on project teams, ensuring the scalability, reliability, and security of cloud environments. Focus on cost optimization, resource tagging, and cloud spend analysis to drive efficient cloud operations. Your Day to Day
Collaborate with development teams, architects, security teams, and other stakeholders to understand business requirements, design cloud-native solutions, and ensure seamless integration of applications with the cloud infrastructure. Create and maintain scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud solutions across multi-cloud platforms like AWS and GCP. Lead IaC development using tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation to automate cloud resource management, ensuring consistency and repeatability. Build and enhance CI/CD pipelines for rapid and reliable application and infrastructure deployment in cloud environments. Monitor and optimize cloud spending by identifying inefficiencies and implementing cost-saving measures, with development of reporting mechanisms. Enforce security best practices and ensure compliance to protect cloud environments and data integrity. What We Need From You
7+ years of progressive experience in cloud technologies, with expertise in multi-cloud or hybrid environments. Proven experience with IaC tools like Terraform and CloudFormation, plus hands-on expertise in major cloud platforms (AWS, GCP). In-depth knowledge of cloud security best practices and compliance frameworks. Strong proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash/Shell, PowerShell) and experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps methodologies. Ability to troubleshoot complex cloud infrastructure issues, optimize performance, and ensure high availability of critical systems. Deep understanding of core cloud components across multi-cloud platforms. Hands-on experience in cloud networking technologies (VPC, security groups, Direct Connect, subnets, load balancers, Route 53, Aviatrix, data transfer cost, VPNs, Transit Gateways, etc.). Drive FinOps best practices by continuously monitoring, analyzing, and optimizing cloud spend. Ability to guide, direct, and mentor junior cloud engineers; develop and maintain comprehensive documentation for cloud infrastructure, processes, and best practices. Provide advanced troubleshooting and Tier 3 support for complex cloud-related issues, leading incident response and problem management to minimize downtime.
