As a Cloud Platform Engineer, you are part of the team responsible for delivering the internal cloud platform that enables our SaaS product teams to build, deploy, and operate reliably in Azure and AWS. This role focuses on building platform capabilities that are reusable, secure, observable, and easy to consume. You will engage in full lifecycle delivery from implementation and automation to hardening, supportability, and continuous improvement.
You’ll be working in an enablement team that treats platform components as versioned products, with stable interfaces, high documentation standards, and a relentless focus on reducing cognitive load and operational friction for R&D, Cloud Security, SRE and Cloud Operations teams. You will collaborate with these users to ensure consistent and efficient use of the platform.
· Deliver modular, secure, and reusable infrastructure components using Terraform, backed by automation pipelines and telemetry.
· Implement platform capabilities such as Kubernetes clusters, ingress, networking, observability, data services, and identity integrations as standardized building blocks.
· Embed operational resilience logging, metrics, alerting as default characteristics of the platform.
· Integrate cloud security and compliance requirements (e.g., IAM boundaries, encryption, audit readiness) into the delivery pipeline in collaboration with the Cloud Security Operations team.
· Develop internal APIs, CLI tools, or service wrappers that simplify infrastructure consumption and improve developer experience.
· Maintain and evolve platform components through versioning, lifecycle policies, and continuous refactoring based on telemetry and platform feedback.
· Providing documentation, usage examples, and onboarding guides is essential to facilitate the adoption of a platform and reduce the support burden. The ability to share knowledge and create comprehensive documentation are fundamental skills for a cloud platform engineer.
· Participate in planning, refinement, and technical review sessions to align with platform architecture and cross-functional delivery priorities.
· Act as a mentor and enabler for the Cloud Operations team members
Required Skills
· Familiarity with GitOps workflows
· Exposure to policy-as-code frameworks and configuration hardening standards (e.g., CIS benchmarks).
· Experience working in regulated environments (SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP) and integrating compliance into infrastructure delivery.
· Understanding of platform SLOs, Error budgets, operational maturity models, and infrastructure lifecycle thinking.
Required Experience
· 3-5 years of relevant experience
· Experience building internal platforms, golden paths, or self-service developer experiences.
