The cloud platform underpins how services are built, deployed, secured, and operated across the organization.

As a Principal Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you will define and drive the governance model and automation strategy for cloud infrastructure. This includes setting policy-as-code standards, automating compliance and cost controls, and ensuring infrastructure is provisioned and operated through consistent, auditable, self-service pathways rather than tailored or manual processes.

You will operate at both a strategic and hands-on level and will set direction for how cloud resources are governed and automated while also building the tooling and guardrails that make that direction real. Success in this role means engineering teams can self-service the build and operation of infrastructure with confidence that it is secure, cost-aware, and consistent by default, without slowing delivery down.

Cloud Governance

• Define and enforce policy-as-code standards (tagging, naming, encryption, network segmentation, access boundaries) across cloud accounts/subscriptions

• Establish guardrails using tools such as OPA, Sentinel, AWS Config/Service Control Policies to report on and prevent drift from approved patterns

• Partner closely with Security/IAM to deliver least-privilege enforcement and access-control requirements directly in our self-service capabilities while ensuring compliance and auditability.

• Embed cost governance and reporting (budgets, anomaly detection, showback/chargeback) into provisioning workflows

Automation & Infrastructure as Code

• Drive the organization's Infrastructure-as-Code standards (e.g., Terraform/Terraform Cloud, Pulumi)

• Establish and maintain reusable, versioned modules and contribution standards that embed governance requirements by default.

• Automate environment provisioning, drift detection/remediation, and lifecycle management so policy compliance doesn't depend on manual review

• Stay ahead of AI-native tooling and bring forward practical opportunities balancing risk, fit, value, measurability, and alignment to company goals.

Platform & Developer Enablement

• Develop golden paths for infrastructure provisioning and service deployment that make the guided path the easiest path

• Partner on developer platform tooling and integrations (CI/CD, container registries, managed data services, observability) where they intersect with governance and automation.

Experience & Skills

• 8+ years in cloud engineering, DevOps, or platform engineering, including experience operating at a principal or staff level (setting direction, not just implementing)

• Deep experience with major Cloud
