Cloud Platform Engineer – Terraform & Database Infrastructure

Role Overview We are looking for an experienced Cloud Platform Engineer to join a platform engineering team supporting enterprise cloud environments and application teams. The role combines hands-on platform engineering with support for application teams consuming shared cloud services. The successful candidate will work with infrastructure-as-code, cloud networking, database services and supporting platform components, troubleshooting issues and helping application teams successfully consume standardized cloud capabilities.

This is a hands-on engineering role requiring strong Terraform skills, solid cloud infrastructure knowledge and the ability to independently diagnose infrastructure and connectivity issues.

Key Responsibilities

Develop, maintain and support reusable infrastructure-as-code components using Terraform. Support application teams consuming shared cloud platform services and troubleshoot infrastructure-related requests and issues. Work with managed database services and supporting infrastructure, including database provisioning, configuration, connectivity and security.

Support cloud security and encryption capabilities including customer-managed keys (CMK) and Key Vault integrations. Diagnose and resolve cloud networking issues across platform and application environments. Work within GitHub-based engineering workflows, repositories and CI/CD processes. Develop and maintain automation and supporting tooling using Python; experience with Go is beneficial.

Participate in troubleshooting and root-cause analysis across infrastructure, application connectivity and shared platform services. Collaborate with internal engineering teams and client/application teams, working to externally driven priorities and delivery timelines. Contribute to the continued development and improvement of reusable cloud platform capabilities.

Requirements

Required Skills Strong hands-on Terraform experience developing and maintaining production infrastructure. Strong understanding of cloud networking, including networking concepts, routing, connectivity, DNS, network security and troubleshooting. Experience supporting managed database infrastructure, ideally including PostgreSQL or similar managed relational database platforms.

Experience with cloud security services such as Key Vault, encryption and customer-managed keys. Strong experience using GitHub for source control and collaborative engineering. Development or automation experience using Python. Strong troubleshooting skills across cloud infrastructure and platform services. Ability to work directly with application/client teams and independently drive technical issues through resolution.

Additional Assets Experience with Go. Experience developing or maintaining GitHub Actions workflows. Familiarity with Kubernetes and container platforms. Experience building reusable enterprise cloud platform modules and standardized infrastructure patterns. Experience working in a large, regulated enterprise environment.

Ideal Profile The ideal candidate is a hands-on cloud/platform engineer who is equally comfortable working in Terraform, investigating a database or networking problem, and helping an application team consume a shared platform capability. This person should be capable of working independently, troubleshooting complex infrastructure problems and contributing directly to production-grade platform code.
