Principal Hybrid Cloud Engineer

We are looking for an experienced and innovative Principal Cloud Engineer with deep hands-on expertise in Terraform, Ansible, and AWS Serverless technologies. The ideal candidate will lead the design, implementation, and automation of modern cloud-native infrastructure and application platforms using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and configuration management. You will play a key role in building scalable, secure, and resilient solutions using AWS services like Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Step Functions, and more.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement highly available, event-driven serverless solutions using AWS services (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, SNS, SQS, Step Functions, EventBridge).
• Design and implement highly available, container based solutions using ECS/EKS.
• Architect scalable and secure cloud-native applications and platforms using modern design patterns.
• Collaborate with software development and product teams to align serverless infrastructure with application needs.
• Build and manage reusable Terraform modules for provisioning serverless and supporting AWS resources.
• Automate serverless application deployments using Ansible for configuration tasks where needed (e.g., IAM roles, secrets, monitoring).
• Integrate IaC pipelines into CI/CD tools to enable rapid, repeatable, and reliable deployments.
• Implement IAM policies, resource permissions, and least-privilege access for serverless resources.
• Ensure compliance with security standards, automate audit and monitoring frameworks, and manage secure key handling and secrets storage.
• Monitor and optimize performance and cost of serverless workloads (e.g., Lambda execution time, API Gateway throttling, DynamoDB capacity).
• Use tools like AWS CloudWatch, X-Ray, Splunk and CloudTrail to trace and improve system reliability and efficiency.
• Serve as a technical advisor and mentor to other engineers.
• Establish engineering best practices for serverless development, IaC, and automation.
• Drive adoption of cloud-native design principles across teams.

What we’re looking for:

• Bachelor's degree and at least 8 years of experience working on cloud and infrastructure initiatives.
• Extensive hands-on experience with AWS serverless services (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Step Functions, etc.).
• Expert-level experience with Terraform for infrastructure provisioning.
• Solid experience with Ansible for automation and configuration management.
• Proficiency in scripting (Bash, Python, or similar).
• Experience integrating IaC and automation into CI/CD workflows.
• Strong understanding of networking, security, and cloud cost management.
• Familiarity with hybrid cloud environments or multi-cloud strategies.
