Cloud Engineer

Overview

Design, build, and operate shared cloud infrastructure platforms that multiple product and application teams depend on. Deliver secure, stable, and scalable AWS and Azure environments, container platforms including Kubernetes, networking foundations, and reusable platform components that accelerate delivery across ERM.

What you'll do

• Design, build, and operate shared cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure, including environments, VPCs/VNets, subnets, gateways, and networking services.
• Implement scalable compute foundations, including Kubernetes clusters, serverless functions, and container runtimes, used by multiple teams.
• Support provisioning and lifecycle management of cloud resources through infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, Bicep, and CloudFormation.
• Deploy, configure, and maintain Kubernetes clusters including EKS and AKS.
• Implement workload deployment patterns, cluster upgrades, node scaling, and platform security controls.
• Work with application and DevOps teams to onboard services onto shared container platforms.
• Implement cloud security standards covering IAM, RBAC, network security, encryption, and secrets management.
• Ensure platform stability through health checks, diagnostics, patching, and high-availability configurations.
• Contribute to incident response, root cause analysis, and proactive reliability improvements.
• Implement and manage monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions across cloud environments.
• Track and optimise cloud consumption for cost efficiency using tagging, rightsizing, and automated remediation patterns.
• Support operational visibility for application teams and ensure platform telemetry meets reliability needs.
• Build standardised infrastructure modules, templates, and deployment patterns for consistent usage across pods and projects.
• Contribute to engineering standards for cloud environments, network design, container best practices, and operational guardrails.
• Support onboarding, documentation, and knowledge sharing for teams consuming cloud and platform services.
• Influence architectural decisions for cloud environments, container platforms, and shared infrastructure patterns.
• Recommend improvements to cloud security posture, cost efficiency, and operational reliability.
• Shape reusable platform components, IaC modules, and standard delivery workflows adopted across engineering teams.
• Provide expert input into multi-cloud operating models and environment strategy.

What you'll need

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 4+ years' experience in cloud/platform engineering roles.
• Hands-on experience operating production systems in AWS and Azure.
• Experience designing, building, and maintaining cloud infrastructure for multi-team or enterprise environments.
• Strong knowledge of AWS and Azure services across compute, storage, networking, IAM, and security.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, including EKS and AKS, deployments, scaling, and platform operations.
• Proficiency in IaC tools including Terraform, Bicep, and CloudFormation, and environment automation.
• Familiarity with CI/CD integration for environment provisioning and application deployment.
• Experience with monitoring, logging, and observability tools including CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK.
• Understanding of network design, VPNs, load balancers, DNS, private endpoints, and hybrid connectivity.
• Strong problem-solving ability and a reliability-focused engineering mindset.
• Clear communicator able to collaborate with architects, developers, and DevOps/platform teams.
• Quality-minded approach to automation, documentation, and operational consistency.
• Willingness to learn and adapt as cloud standards and technologies evolve.

Nice to have

• Certifications such as AWS Solutions Architect (Associate), Azure Administrator Associate, or equivalent.
• Experience with container security, image scanning, and runtime security tools.
• Exposure to service mesh technologies such as Istio or Linkerd, or advanced Kubernetes networking.
• Experience implementing multi-region or multi-cloud deployment patterns.
• Familiarity with FinOps practices and cost governance frameworks.
• Experience in pod-based delivery teams or platform enablement roles.

Details

• Location: New Delhi, India.
• Work in shifts where required, depending on the role; as processes mature and automation increases, reliance on shifts will reduce.
