Title and Summary

Senior Cloud Platform Engineer

Overview
The Internal Cloud Platforms team is responsible for the daily maintenance, operation, and continuous improvement of multiple internal cloud platforms and their supporting services. Our engineers participate throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring that new infrastructure is designed with operational excellence in mind and ultimately assuming ownership of these environments.

The primary focus of this role is to respond to incidents quickly and effectively across cloud, PaaS, Cloud Foundry, and pipeline infrastructure. Additionally, the team proactively enhances platform resiliency by contributing to architectural improvements and automating repetitive processes.
Success in this role requires:
• Deep understanding of cloud and PaaS platforms
• Strong automation and coding skills to remediate recurring issues
• Solid knowledge of Continuous Delivery principles and infrastructure-as-code methodologies
• A hands-on approach to identifying, preventing, and resolving issues in complex infrastructure environments
If you enjoy replacing manual tasks with robust, code-driven solutions—and consistently steer your team toward the best solution rather than the easiest—this role is for you.
