Cloud Engineer (AWS)

JOB OBJECTIVE:

Own and advance the platforms, engineering practices, and governance capabilities that enable Infrastructure as Code (IaC), cloud infrastructure governance, and automated infrastructure delivery. Design, build, and maintain reusable infrastructure platforms, services, and deployment patterns that provide secure, repeatable, and audit-ready infrastructure delivery through version-controlled Terraform modules, ControlMonkey.io automation, infrastructure testing and validation, and governed change management processes. Partner across Infrastructure Services, DevOps, CyberSecurity, IAM, Enterprise Architecture, application teams, and Governance, Risk and Compliance to improve delivery consistency, traceability, resilience, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Support team upskilling and training by sharing standards, coaching engineers on approved automation and cloud delivery practices, and helping build practical capability across Infrastructure Services.
