Senior Cloud Engineer

Essa posição é para atuar presencialmente em Contagem, MG.

How will you make a difference?

We’re looking for a Staff Engineer who combines strong software engineering expertise with deep experience in cloud-native platforms — and a passion for innovation.
This is not an operational role. It is a high-impact, design-focused position centered around building, architecting, and evolving modern systems, while driving forward the next generation of technology in Wabtec

You will influence engineering standards, guide architectural decisions, and design scalable, cloud-native solutions. You’ll explore new technologies, prototype ideas, and help translate innovation into real, impactful products.

We want someone curious, investigative, communicative, hands-on, and comfortable exploring the unknown — someone who thrives on solving complex problems with clean, elegant engineering.

If you come from a software development or data science background and have strong cloud experience, don’t hesitate to reach out — this role may be a perfect fit.

What do we want to know about you?

• Fluency in GitLab CI/CD and modern pipeline design.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or CloudFormation preferred).
• Strong communication and collaboration skills — able to influence and guide teams.
• Advanced English proficiency.

Nice to Have

• Work with AWS (or other cloud vendors) to design infrastructure, services, and platform components.
• Contribute to CI/CD improvements using GitLab CI.
• Write and evolve infrastructure using Terraform or CloudFormation.
• Design and guide Kubernetes-based deployments and workloads.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to explore new technologies and bring innovative concepts to life.
