Title: Senior Cloud DevOps Architect
Location: Houston, TX 77024 (hybrid)
Duration: Long Term Contract
Work Requirements: U.S. Citizen, Holders, or Authorized to Work in the U.S.

Job Description:
We are seeking an experienced Senior Cloud DevOps Architect to design, automate, and deploy cloud environments across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (Google Cloud Platform).
The primary objective is to accelerate infrastructure provisioning by leveraging Terraform and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to deploy secure, consistent, and repeatable Sandbox, Development, and Test environments in minutes or hours rather than weeks.
The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience across all three major cloud providers, with the ability to automate infrastructure deployments, eliminate manual configuration ( "click-ops "), and embed security policies and governance directly into the deployment process.
Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and deploy automated cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform using Terraform.
• Build reusable Terraform modules and templates to standardize infrastructure provisioning across multiple cloud environments.
• Automate the creation and configuration of Sandbox, Development, and Test environments.
• Reduce environment provisioning timelines from weeks to minutes or hours through automation and self-service capabilities.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) best practices to eliminate manual, console-based infrastructure deployment.
• Codify and enforce cloud security policies, access controls, and governance requirements as part of infrastructure deployments.
• Integrate Terraform deployments into CI/CD pipelines to enable automated, repeatable, and controlled provisioning.
• Implement Policy as Code (PaC) practices to ensure infrastructure resources meet security and compliance standards.
• Collaborate with cloud architects, cybersecurity teams, and development teams to establish scalable, secure infrastructure patterns.
• Develop documentation, reusable deployment frameworks, and operational standards to support ongoing infrastructure automation.

Required Qualifications

• Strong hands-on experience with all three hyperscalers: AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.
• Advanced experience with Terraform and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
• Proven ability to build and deploy cloud environments through automation rather than manual configuration.
• Experience creating reusable Terraform modules for multi-cloud infrastructure provisioning.
• Strong understanding of cloud security, IAM, networking, access controls, and governance.
• Experience implementing security controls and policies through code as part of automated infrastructure deployment.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps automation tools.
• Proficiency with scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
• Ability to work independently, assess existing infrastructure processes, and implement automation solutions quickly.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Terraform Cloud, Terraform Enterprise, or equivalent orchestration platforms.
• Knowledge of Policy as Code frameworks such as Open Policy Agent (OPA), Sentinel, or equivalent tools.
• Experience with cloud-native security and governance services, including Azure Policy, AWS Organizations/SCPs, and Google Cloud Platform Organization Policies.
• Familiarity with GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, or Jenkins.
• Experience implementing standardized, self-service cloud environments for enterprise development teams.
• Experience working in large enterprise environments with established cybersecurity and compliance requirements.

Our benefits package includes:

• Comprehensive medical benefits
• Competitive pay
• 401(k) retirement plan
• …and much more!
