About the Role
As a Cloud Platform Engineer at CaeliCode, you'll be the backbone of our infrastructure practice. You'll design, build, and maintain cloud environments across AWS, Azure, and GCP for a diverse range of clients, from startups scaling their first production workloads to enterprises modernizing legacy systems.
This isn't a ticket-queue role. You'll work directly with clients to understand their architecture needs, design solutions, and implement them end-to-end. You'll own the infrastructure lifecycle from initial design through ongoing optimization.
What You'll Do
- Design and implement multi-cloud infrastructure using Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation
- Build and manage Kubernetes clusters (EKS, AKS, GKE) with production-grade configurations
- Develop reusable Terraform modules and IaC patterns for our internal platform toolkit
- Implement cost optimization strategies: right-sizing, reserved capacity planning, spot instance management
- Set up monitoring, alerting, and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog)
- Design networking architectures including VPCs, peering, transit gateways, and service meshes
- Conduct architecture reviews and provide recommendations to clients
- Contribute to our open-source platform tools on GitHub
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Strong proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred)
- Production experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration
- Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (DNS, load balancing, firewalls, VPNs)
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows
- Scripting and automation skills in Python, Bash, or Go
- Ability to communicate technical decisions clearly to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
Nice to Have
- Cloud certifications (AWS Solutions Architect, CKA, Azure Administrator, etc.)
- Experience with service meshes (Istio, Linkerd)
- Familiarity with FinOps practices and cloud cost management tools
- Contributions to open-source infrastructure projects
- Experience in a consulting or multi-client environment
