Cloud Engineer

Position Title: Cloud Engineer
Position Type: Regular - Full-Time
Position Location: New Delhi
Requisition ID: 30496
JOB PURPOSE:
As a cloud infrastructure engineer, you'll empower teams to adopt cloud services through hands-on design and implementation of new capabilities. You'll leverage your expertise in cloud architecture, automation, and security to build scalable solutions. Collaboration with diverse teams, including architects, developers, and SREs, will be crucial for success. You'll also tackle complex operational issues, ensuring smooth service delivery through your attention to detail and customer-centric approach.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Provide expert knowledge on cloud infrastructure and platforms, to ensure our organization achieves its goals for cloud adoption. This involves translating cloud strategy and architecture into efficient, resilient, and secure technical implementations.
• Offer cloud-engineering thought leadership in areas to define specific cloud use cases, cloud service providers, and/or strategic tools and technologies
• Support architects working on new cloud solutions including analyzing requirements, supporting technical architecture activities, prototyping, design and development of infrastructure artifacts, testing, implementation, and the preparation for ongoing support.
• Work on cloud migration projects, including analyzing requirements and backlogs, identifying migration techniques, developing migration artifacts, executing processes, and ensuring preparations for ongoing support.
• Design, build, deliver, maintain and improve infrastructure solutions. This includes automation strategies such as IaC, configuration-as-code, policy-as-code, release orchestration and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, and collaborative ways of working (e.g., DevOps). Participate in change and release management processes, carrying out complex provisioning and configuration tasks manually, where needed.
• Research and prototype new tools and technologies to enhance cloud platform capabilities. Proactively identify innovative ways to reduce toil, and teach, coach or mentor others to improve cloud outcomes using automation.
• Improve reliability, scalability and efficiency by working with product engineers and site reliability engineers to ensure well-architected and thoughtfully operationalized cloud infrastructures. This includes assisting with nonfunctional requirements, such as data protection, high availability, disaster recovery, monitoring requirements and efficiency considerations in different environments.
• Provide subject matter expertise for all approved IaaS and PaaS services, respond promptly to escalated incidents and requests, and build reusable artifacts ready for deployment to cloud environments.
• Exert influence that lifts cloud engineering competency by participating in (and, where applicable, leading) organizational learning practices, such as communities of practice, dojos, hackathons and centers of excellence (COEs). Actively participate in mentoring. Practice continuous improvement and knowledge sharing (e.g., providing KB articles, training and white papers).
• Participate in planning and optimization activities, including capacity, reliability, cost management and performance engineering.
• Work closely with security specialists to design, implement and test security controls, and ensure engineering activities align to security configuration guidance.
• Establish logging, monitoring and observability solutions, including identification of requirements, design, implementation and operationalization.
• Optimize infrastructure integration in all scenarios - single cloud, multicloud and hybrid.
• Convey the pros and cons of cloud services and other cloud engineering topics to others at differing levels of cloud maturity and experience, and in different roles (e.g., developers and business technologists). Be forthcoming and open when the cloud is not the best solution.
• Work closely with third-party suppliers, both as an individual contributor and as a project lead, when required. Engage with vendor technical support as the customer lead role when appropriate.
• Participate/Lead problem management activities, including post-mortem incident analysis, providing technical insight, documented findings, outcomes and recommendations as part of a root cause analysis.
• Support resilience activities - e.g., disaster recovery (DR) testing, performance testing and tabletop planning exercises.
