Description
\n
\n
As a cloud infrastructure senior engineer, you'll set technical direction across two connected sides of the platform:
\n
\n
* Platform / Infrastructure — event-driven build pipelines using AWS Step Functions and Lambda, defined as Infrastructure as Code in CloudFormation, orchestrating the full image lifecycle from import through customization, testing, distribution, and decommissioning.
\n
* Image customization & operations — the reusable packages, Ansible provisioning scripts, and compliance tests that define each image, delivered through a PR-driven, automated release pipeline.
\n
\n
What you'll do
\n
\n
* Own and evolve serverless, event-driven build automation (Step Functions, Lambda, SNS, S3, EC2) that customizes machine images at scale.
\n
* Lead Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation) that deploys consistently across many regions and accounts.
\n
* Build and harden OS images for RHEL, Windows, macOS, and Amazon Linux, including GPU, ARM64, and Kubernetes node variants, to strict security and compliance standards.
\n
* Raise the bar on code quality, test coverage, and CI/CD health; mentor engineers and lead technical reviews.
\n
* Partner with OS engineering and consuming application teams to keep the image catalog secure, current, and reliable.
