About the role

  • You will work across internal platforms and client-facing engagements, shaping solutions from pre-sales through production.
  • Set account, subscription, and project structure, environment separation, and identity boundaries as defaults.
  • Set the standard for running Kubernetes in production (EKS, GKE, AKS), including networking, autoscaling, workload isolation, and day-2 operations.

Responsibilities

  • Act as the design authority for multi-cloud infrastructure across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure.
  • Own the hardest architecture decisions and serve as the final escalation point for production-critical problems across engagements.
  • Define the firm-wide standards, patterns, and reference architectures for landing zones, networking, identity, and workload platforms that every team builds on.
  • Infrastructure as Code. Own the IaC standard for the practice. Build the reusable, modular Terraform and the module library that other engineers adopt by default, and govern state, versioning, and drift at scale.
  • Own container registries and artifact promotion (ECR, ACR, Artifact Registry) and golden image pipelines (cloud-init, image bake) for consistent, hardened builds.
  • Solutioning and pre-sales. Shape proposals and estimates, lead technical discovery, and represent the firm as the senior cloud voice in client and executive conversations.
  • Delivery automation. Build and harden CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation that move code to production safely and repeatably.
  • Reliability. Establish observability, SLOs, and incident response practices. Lead root cause analysis and drive permanent fixes rather than repeated firefighting.
  • Cost and efficiency. Drive cost visibility and optimization (FinOps) across accounts, projects, and clouds.
  • Leadership and mentorship. Raise the technical bar across the practice. Mentor and grow senior engineers, shape the hiring bar, and lead design reviews.

Requirements

  • 12+ years in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering, with deep production ownership and a record of setting technical direction.
  • Deep, hands-on expertise across all three of AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, or mastery of two with strong production experience in the third.
  • Expert-level Infrastructure as Code, especially Terraform, with patterns and module libraries you have personally established as the standard across multiple teams.
  • Production Kubernetes experience (EKS, GKE, or AKS), including day-2 operations and troubleshooting.

Nice to have

  • GitOps and progressive delivery (ArgoCD, Flux), and service mesh experience.
  • Policy as code (OPA, Sentinel) and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, FedRAMP, HIPAA).
  • FinOps and large-scale cost optimization.
  • What It's Like to Work Here
  • Success here means lasting impact, not just delivered projects.
  • We make our outcomes visible by sharing results, stories, and lessons learned, because growth happens through shared experience.
  • Accountability & Ownership
  • Communicate proactively, especially when priorities shift

Skills

  • Strong grounding in cloud security and identity (IAM, RBAC, secrets management, encryption).
  • Experience leading technical solutioning or pre-sales in a client-facing or consulting environment.
  • Strong written and spoken English communication skills, including with executive audiences.

Equal opportunity

  • We embrace AI across everything we do, and that includes how you prepare for this interview.
  • Feel free to use AI tools to research the role, practice your responses, and put your best foot forward.
  • What matters to us is getting to know the real you - how you think, how you communicate, and what you genuinely bring to the table.
  • Our interviews are designed to go deeper than any polished answer, so come curious and come as yourself without the support of an AI tool during our conversation.
