Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer based in Canada. Overview Join a global technology environment where secure, reliable, and scalable cloud infrastructure powers services used by millions of people. As a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you will play a key role in strengthening platform security, optimizing Kubernetes operations, and maintaining critical authentication services. You will work across cloud infrastructure, container security, identity management, and automation to ensure platform resilience and operational excellence. Leveraging AWS, infrastructure-as-code tools, and AI-assisted workflows, you will simplify complex processes and reduce manual operational effort. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to address security vulnerabilities, improve governance, and deliver reliable infrastructure solutions. This remote opportunity is ideal for a technically strong engineer who thrives on solving complex challenges, taking ownership, and continuously improving modern cloud platforms. Accountabilities - Strengthen platform security: Identify and remediate high-severity vulnerabilities, develop hardened container base images, and maintain secure image build and distribution pipelines with minimal known vulnerabilities. - Manage Kubernetes infrastructure: Operate, maintain, and scale Kubernetes platforms while implementing Kyverno admission policies and policy-as-code controls to enforce security standards and cluster governance. - Maintain authentication services: Design, implement, and support secure, highly available authentication infrastructure using Keycloak, with working knowledge of IdentityServer and related identity management technologies. - Automate infrastructure operations: Develop maintainable automation and platform tooling using Python, Go, Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation, and Ansible to improve reliability and reduce repetitive operational tasks.

- Leverage AI for operational efficiency: Identify opportunities to use AI-assisted automation to streamline routine operations, improve workflows, and increase engineering productivity. - Manage cloud infrastructure: Oversee AWS infrastructure operations, including services such as ECS, EKS, IAM, and Security Hub, with additional exposure to Google Cloud Platform where required. - Improve CI/CD and deployment workflows: Maintain and enhance automated delivery pipelines using GitHub Workflows, ArgoCD, and infrastructure-as-code practices. - Own operational reliability: Troubleshoot Linux and infrastructure issues, respond to incidents, participate in an on-call rotation, and implement improvements that prevent recurring problems. - Collaborate across teams: Work with security, platform engineering, and other technical stakeholders to resolve complex challenges, communicate risks, and continuously improve infrastructure standards. Requirements - Cloud infrastructure experience: Strong hands-on experience with AWS in production environments, particularly ECS, EKS, IAM, and Security Hub. Familiarity with GCP is an advantage. - Container and Kubernetes expertise: Proven experience operating Kubernetes platforms, working with Docker, hardening container images, and managing container security and vulnerability remediation. - Security and governance: Practical knowledge of vulnerability management, CVE remediation, secure base image pipelines, policy-as-code, and Kubernetes admission control tools such as Kyverno. - Programming and automation: Proficiency in Python and Go for developing scripts, tooling, and automation that improve infrastructure reliability and operational efficiency. - Infrastructure as code: Experience with Terraform and Terragrunt, alongside tools such as Ansible and CloudFormation, to provision and manage cloud environments consistently.
