TL;DR · Principal Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

As a Principal Cloud Infrastructure Engineer (AWS), you will serve as the technical authority for the enterprise AWS platform, leading the cloud engineering team to establish architectural direction and engineering standards. You will own the end-to-end infrastructure, including AWS Organizations, Landing Zones, and Terraform frameworks for automated provisioning. Your daily work involves designing scalable systems, mentoring engineers, and building self-service capabilities while ensuring security, reliability, and compliance across regulated frameworks like HIPAA and PCI. You will manage complex networking components such as VPC Lattice and Transit Gateway, oversee CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and CodePipeline, and implement policy-as-code via OPA. The role requires deep expertise in Python, Go, and Terraform to manage services like EKS, S3, and Redshift while integrating observability tools like Datadog and CloudWatch to ensure operational excellence across the enterprise infrastructure.

What you'll do

  • Own the enterprise AWS platform including account hierarchy, Landing Zone configuration, and service control policies.
  • Serve as the final technical authority on AWS architecture decisions regarding scalability, security, and operational excellence.
  • Lead the cloud engineering team by setting standards, conducting design reviews, and mentoring engineers.
  • Design and manage the Terraform framework for automated resource provisioning and infrastructure management.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines to automate deployments for both platform infrastructure and applications.
  • Architect and operate complex networking components including VPCs, Transit Gateways, and hybrid connectivity solutions.
  • Manage the enterprise security posture through IAM design, secret management, and automated compliance monitoring.
  • Develop the AWS platform roadmap while integrating FinOps practices to manage cloud costs effectively.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years of experience in cloud and infrastructure engineering.
  • 5+ years of hands-on AWS experience at enterprise scale.
  • Proven ownership of an AWS Organization including account hierarchy, billing, SCPs, and multi-account governance.
  • Demonstrated technical leadership in leading platform teams or major enterprise cloud initiatives.
  • Proficiency in Python, Go, and Terraform for infrastructure as code and automation.
  • Expertise in AWS networking, security (IAM, IRSA), and observability tools like CloudWatch and Datadog.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Preferred certifications include AWS Solutions Architect Professional, AWS DevOps Engineer Professional, or HashiCorp Terraform certifications.
