We turn enterprise data into real-time decisions using advanced machine learning and GenAI. Our team solves hard engineering problems at scale, with real-world industry impact. We’re hiring passionate builders to shape the future of industrial intelligence.

Job Overview

We are seeking an experienced Cloud Engineer to design, deploy, and manage secure, scalable, and highly available cloud infrastructure—primarily on AWS, with additional exposure to Azure or GCP considered a strong plus. The ideal candidate will have a strong security-first mindset, deep experience in infrastructure as code (IaC), and a collaborative approach to supporting development and DevOps teams in building modern cloud-native platforms.

Key Responsibilities

Architectural Design & Implementation

Lead the architecture and implementation of AWS cloud environments tailored to business needs and aligned with security and compliance standards.
Provide technical guidance to development and operations teams on cloud architecture best practices.

Security Architecture

Design and implement robust security controls in AWS, ensuring protection of data and infrastructure.
Drive secure configuration of cloud resources including IAM, encryption, network segmentation, and vulnerability management.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Build and manage cloud infrastructure using Terraform and/or CloudFormation, enabling consistent, repeatable, and scalable deployments.
Integrate infrastructure automation into CI/CD pipelines and operational workflows.

Scripting & Automation

Automate infrastructure and application deployments using Python, Bash, Git, Jenkins, PowerShell, and other scripting tools.
Develop self-healing and auto-scaling solutions to improve system resilience and reduce manual effort.

DevOps and CI/CD Support

Operate within a DevOps ecosystem, supporting CI/CD processes, containerization, and automated security testing (DAST/SAST).
Collaborate with development teams to streamline release cycles and ensure secure deployments.

Monitoring and Reliability

Design and implement comprehensive monitoring and alerting strategies for cloud workloads using native AWS tools and third-party platforms.
Support incident response and root cause analysis for cloud infrastructure-related issues.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Work closely with application developers, security engineers, and platform teams to support end-to-end delivery.
Participate in platform architecture discussions and long-term cloud strategy planning.

Required Qualifications

7+ years of experience in cloud engineering, including multi-cloud environments with a strong focus on AWS.
Solid experience in infrastructure automation (Terraform, CloudFormation) and scripting languages (Python, Bash, PowerShell).
Experience with CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitHub, Jenkins, and GitLab.
Proficiency in Docker/Kubernetes, cloud networking, and container orchestration.
Strong grasp of cloud security practices, IAM, encryption, and data protection.
Exposure to DevSecOps, including vulnerability scanning and remediation workflows.
Familiarity with monitoring tools (CloudWatch, Prometheus, Datadog, etc.) and alerting strategies.
Experience with cloud-native data services such as Databricks, AWS Glue, EMR, Athena, and Data Lake.

Nice To Have

Experience with distributed systems, Linux, CDNs, HTTP/TCP/IP fundamentals, and SQL/database administration.
Familiarity with REST APIs, microservices architecture, and serverless computing models.

Education & Certifications

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
Relevant certifications such as:
AWS Certified Solutions Architect / DevOps Engineer
Microsoft Azure / Google Cloud certifications (preferred)
