Role Overview
We are seeking a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with deep expertise in Terraform and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to design, build, and secure enterprise-scale cloud environments. This role blends software engineering principles with cloud infrastructure delivery, supporting highly regulated, security-first platforms primarily in Microsoft Azure.

Key Responsibilities
Infrastructure as Code & Automation
• Serve as the Terraform subject matter expert, designing highly modular, reusable Terraform codebases.
• Build and manage infrastructure as production-grade code with strong testing, versioning, and CI/CD practices.
• Integrate Terraform into Git-based workflows (GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps).
• Contribute to advanced IaC patterns including custom modules and providers.

Cloud Architecture & Landing Zones
• Design and implement Azure Landing Zones or equivalent cloud foundation frameworks.
• Support application migrations and greenfield builds with secure, scalable architectures.
• Maintain architecture diagrams and technical documentation.

Networking & Zero-Trust Security
• Design secure Azure networking (VNets, routing, firewalls, private endpoints).
• Enforce private connectivity only, no public access.
• Enable secure cross-VNet communication using zero-trust patterns.
"They need to have some degree of understanding on how cloud networking works "

Identity, Security & Compliance
• Implement Managed Identities and Entra ID RBAC.
• Enforce least-privilege access and security guardrails using Azure Policy.
• Eliminate secrets-based access patterns.
• Support regulated environments (FedRAMP / DoD experience a plus).

Kubernetes & Platform Engineering
• Design and support secure AKS environments.
• Implement workload identity and zero-trust authentication.
• Configure Kubernetes HA, scaling, and security controls.

Collaboration & Optimization
• Partner with DevOps, application, and security teams.
• Optimize cloud environments for performance, reliability, and cost.

Required Qualifications
• Expert-level Terraform experience (modules, state, CI/CD).
• Strong software engineering background.
• Deep Azure networking, identity, and security knowledge.
• Git-based version control proficiency.
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with Azure Government Cloud (preferred) or AWS GovCloud
• Experience building Azure Landing Zones or AWS Control Tower–style landing zone architectures
• Experience supporting government, defense, or highly regulated environments
• Kubernetes platform engineering experience.
• Familiarity with FedRAMP, NIST, or DoD frameworks.
• Scripting (Python, PowerShell, Bash).
• Cloud certifications or equivalent experience.

Certifications such as:
Azure (AZ-104, AZ-305, AZ-700, AZ-500)
AWS (Solutions Architect, SysOps, Security)
Equivalent hands-on experience will be considered in place of certification
