Cloud Build Engineer

Skills

• Develop code and scripts to automate and streamline CloudOps workflows in AWS and Azure • Build and maintain library of secure and compliant Infrastructure as Code in Terraform and golden machine images for consumption by application developers • Support stakeholder community and users of cloud platforms perform incident response troubleshooting and root cause analysis. • Develop automated remediation capabilities to detect and resolve incidents proactively • Adhere to proper change control processes and leverage GitOps workflows to manage changes • Develop and monitor operational health status and compliance dashboards; proactively resolve concerns before they become incidents • Implement event-driven automations on cloud-native tooling (e.g. Lambda Step etc.) to respond to incidents • Collaborate with teams reviewing design and test plans to ensure operational readiness and alignment to standards determine potential gaps and alternative solutions. • Fulfill incoming requests and resolve incidents for cloud services • Look for and recommend cost optimization opportunities • Build and maintain tracking dashboards for various metrics (e.g. compliance scores cost optimizations invoicing etc.) • Provide PL Cloud Leadership monthly reports on activities trends and concerns • Develop documentation and keep wiki updated; attend and lead periodic training sessions to help teach others on cloud platform usage

Description

A. Lead the design and development of a Policy as Code (PaC) capability B. Document and maintain guidance on PaC architecture/integrations, policy development, usage, and deployment. Document guidelines for secure usage of approved AWS services aligned to standards and policies, and a plan for preventing usage of unapproved services, and approval process for new services. C. Plan and implement centralized agent pool for developer pipelines to standardize deployments with applied Policy as Code D. Implement policy framework aligned to governance requirements (e.g., tags, security, baselines, financial, Terraform IaC, etc.) including Terraform modules. E. Implement configuration drift enforcement via Ansible and other configuration management tools
Focus Areas: -Implement Policy as Code as part of cloud shared services governance framework -Terraform for enterprise Infra as Code (alternative IaC tooling ok if at enterprise level) -Ansible for automation (ok without if strong enough with TF) -Will be questions about setting up CI/CD pipelines but more to understand if they've built guardrails or just operated within preexisting -Kubernetes a big bonus--not in environment now, but will be project work to implement it down the line -AWS Solutions Architect cert will help ID candidates with broader/enterprise approach to cloud -Azure still just nice to have
