About the role

As a Senior Cloud Engineer at Sovrn, you are a key technical decision-maker and force multiplier for our engineering organization.

Design large-scale, enterprise-level AWS cloud architectures (VPC, EC2, S3, IAM) that are secure, scalable, and cost-effective; act as the primary decision-maker on platform selection and cloud-native design patterns for your domain.
Manage, optimize, and scale a Databricks lakehouse layer to maximize performance, reduce costs and enforce governance frameworks (RBAC/ABAC, IAM, SCIM).
Lead IaC adoption across teams - develop internal Terraform modules, implement policy-as-code, and architect CI/CD pipelines that fully automate infrastructure deployment and management.
Own observability for your services: design comprehensive monitoring, metrics, and alerting strategies that drive data-driven root cause analysis and meaningfully reduce escalation noise.
Implement AIOps solutions for automated anomaly detection; define standards for responsible AI use in operations and ensure AI tooling measurably improves reliability without introducing new risk.
Own delivery of projects with multiple dependencies and lead large cross-team initiatives - coordinating across engineering to maintain clarity on scope, quality, and timelines.
Create high-level architectural documentation, contribute to the long-term technology roadmap, set documentation standards for the team, and help junior engineers develop their technical writing skills.

Deep proficiency in AWS cloud services (VPC, EC2, S3, IAM, CloudWatch, etc) with a track record of designing and owning secure, scalable, production-ready architectures using cloud-native design principles.
Extensive hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) - building reusable internal modules, implementing policy-as-code, and architecting CI/CD pipelines for full infrastructure automation.
In-depth knowledge of cloud networking, security best practices, and Identity and Access Management
experience enforcing governance through automated policy checks.
Experience designing observability systems (metrics, logs, alerting) and applying data-driven approaches to incident management, root cause analysis, and operational improvement.
Demonstrated experience designing agent skills that will reduce the administrative drag of the engineering team.
