• Perform system and database maintenance activities, including application deployment, backup and restoration procedures, patching, upgrades, etc.  
• Participate in project teams to deliver cloud solutions under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Support and enhance CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure automation.
• Maintain and support cloud environments, including incident response, troubleshooting, and performance tuning.
• Document infrastructure designs, standard operating procedures, and support runbooks.
• Create and maintain clear, accurate documentation tailored to the target audience (e.g., engineers, support staff).
• Collaborate with development, security, and operations teams to ensure systems are secure and compliant.
• Participate in on-call rotations and support operational readiness.
• Participate in retrospectives to identify opportunities to improve platform scalability and supportability.

Expectations for Project and Initiative Work

• Follow defined patterns and standards to ensure consistency and maintainability.

The ideal candidate has:

• 3+ years of experience working with public cloud platforms (AWS and GCP preferred) in a professional setting.
• Professional experience using Terraform, CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions), and scripting languages (Python) to deploy, maintain, and support cloud infrastructure.

• Experience with Hashicorp Vault
• Familiarity with Git & common workflows
• Growth mindset and interest in continuous learning
