Job Summary:

We are seeking an Systems Automation Engineer with deep Terraform expertise to design, build, and maintain the infrastructure-as-code foundations that power our cloud and hybrid environments. This role focuses on creating reusable Terraform modules, hardening pipelines, enforcing policy-as-code, and standardizing infrastructure delivery across multiple teams and cloud providers. The ideal candidate brings strong software engineering discipline to infrastructure work, has shipped production-grade Terraform at scale, and understands the operational realities of managing thousands of resources across many environments and accounts.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain modular, composable Terraform code that codifies the entire infrastructure estate across cloud accounts and environments
• Build a library of well-tested, reusable Terraform modules with clear interfaces, semantic versioning, and comprehensive documentation
• Implement Terraform automation pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Atlantis, Terraform Cloud, or Spacelift, with plan/apply gating, drift detection, and policy enforcement
• Define and enforce policy-as-code using Sentinel, Open Policy Agent (OPA), Conftest, or Checkov to prevent insecure or non-compliant infrastructure changes
• Manage Terraform state at scale with appropriate backend strategies, state locking, workspace organization, and disaster recovery patterns
• Drive multi-account, multi-region, and multi-cloud infrastructure provisioning strategies with clear isolation, naming, and tagging standards
• Implement infrastructure testing including unit tests with terraform-compliance, integration tests with Terratest, and policy tests across pull requests

• Drive cost optimization, tagging hygiene, and lifecycle management across the Terraform-managed estate
• Mentor engineering teams on Terraform best practices, anti-patterns, and pull-request review standards
• Maintain comprehensive runbooks, architecture diagrams, and onboarding materials for the infrastructure platform
