Principal Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

Principal Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

We're looking for a Principal Cloud Infrastructure Engineer who thrives at the intersection of architecture, automation, and operational excellence. You'll lead the design and evolution of our IT cloud infrastructure, partnering closely with other teams to build reliable, scalable ecosystems. This role serves as a senior technical authority responsible for establishing architecture, engineering standards, and long-term strategy across cloud platforms, identity and access management, SaaS technologies, automation, and emerging enterprise AI capabilities.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role, working across Infrastructure, Security, Enterprise Applications, and Engineering teams, establishing architectural direction, evaluating emerging technologies, and translating business and security requirements into sustainable enterprise solutions.

What you'll do

As a Principal Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you can expect to:

• Define and own the cloud infrastructure architecture and technical strategy across Azure, AWS, GCP, and hybrid environments, establishing secure, scalable, highly available, and cost-effective patterns across networking, compute, storage, identity, and core infrastructure services.
• Set enterprise standards for reliability, resilience, and observability, including high availability, disaster recovery, business continuity, capacity planning, monitoring, alerting, and incident management to ensure critical platforms remain resilient and operational at scale.
• Architect secure cloud and identity solutions based on zero trust principles, partnering with Security and Compliance teams to establish identity governance, access controls, security guardrails, and architectural standards that reduce risk and meet regulatory and compliance requirements.
• Drive infrastructure automation and engineering excellence through Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, scripting, and configuration management, establishing reusable frameworks and standards that improve consistency, repeatability, security, and operational efficiency.
• Provide technical leadership for cloud modernization and emerging technologies, including cloud migrations, platform consolidation, enterprise SaaS and AI platforms integrations, and new cloud capabilities. Evaluate technologies with a focus on business value, scalability, security, cost, and operational risk.
• Serve as a principal technical authority across the infrastructure organization, leading architecture and design reviews, resolving complex cross-platform challenges, mentoring senior engineers, and influencing technical decisions and engineering practices that continuously improve reliability, security, automation, scalability, and cost efficiency.
