• Create and manage infrastructure as code definitions to provision and maintain cloud resources in an auditable, repeatable, and version-controlled fashion.
• Configure and optimize content delivery networks and load balancing to enhance application performance, resilience, and user experience globally.
• Build and administer container orchestration clusters ensuring efficient scheduling, resource usage, and seamless service discovery for microservice architectures.
• Establish and maintain continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines to automate the build, test, and deployment phases for applications and infrastructure.
• Configure and manage managed relational database services focusing on security, resilience, and high performance for transactional and analytical workloads.
• Develop automation scripts using scripting and programming languages to reduce manual efforts, boost reliability, and enforce configuration standards across environments.
• Use monitoring and advisory tools to identify bottlenecks, optimize costs, detect security gaps, and collaborate with teams for timely remediation.
• Manage managed machine learning services to facilitate model training, deployment, and monitoring for data-driven products adding value to customers and society.
• Implement stringent security measures using identity and access management, network configurations, and logging to ensure data protection and regulatory compliance.
• Work closely with application, operations, and security teams to understand needs, design effective solutions, and guarantee seamless deployments without business disruptions.
• Provide rotational shift support for both production and non-production environments by resolving incidents, conducting root cause analyses, and initiating preventive actions.

Qualifications

• Four to six years of hands-on experience as a cloud engineer or in a similar position with solid expertise in containerized applications and managed cloud services.
• Strong proficiency with container technologies and registries, including experience building, tagging, scanning, and deploying production images.
• Practical knowledge of compute services, container platforms, and orchestration services covering cluster configuration, node groups, and networking.
• Understanding of managed relational database services including backup methods, parameter tuning, connectivity design, and fundamental query optimization.
• Experience with content delivery networks and load balancing focusing on caching, distribution techniques, and secure endpoint setups.
• Expertise in infrastructure as code using popular tools for managing cloud resources, modules, state, and integration with version control systems.
• Proficiency in scripting languages and Python for automation related to provisioning, configuration management, monitoring, integration, and operations.
• Experience with continuous delivery tools and pipelines including artifact repository integration, approval workflows, and container deployment strategies.
• Knowledge of cloud security best practices, cost control measures, resilience, and governance via advisory tools and monitoring platforms.
• Prior exposure to IT operations environments including incident and change management along with adherence to service levels is preferred.
• Excellent communication with cross-functional teams, documenting solutions meticulously, adhering to standardized processes, and contributing to ongoing improvements.
• Mentality focused on platform reliability, efficiency, sustainability, and alignment with business objectives benefiting customers and society at large.
