Job Title

Cloud / Infrastructure Engineer – AWS & Terraform

Position Summary

We are seeking a Cloud / Infrastructure Engineer to own AWS infrastructure and Infrastructure-as-Code that enables application teams to deploy, operate, and scale Flight Data Intelligence services reliably.

This is an infrastructure-first role focused on Terraform, AWS resource ownership, and CI/CD delivery pipelines. The role is not centered on application feature or API development, but on ensuring that services can be deployed safely, consistently, and operated in production with confidence.

You will work closely with engineering, product, and operations teams to build and maintain scalable, secure, and highly available cloud environments supporting aviation analytics platforms used by customers worldwide.

Infrastructure and Cloud Ownership

Design, provision, and maintain AWS infrastructure using Terraform to support analytics services
Own Terraform modules, environment separation (development, staging, production), and state management practices
Implement and evolve AWS resources, including IAM, networking, compute, storage, and service integrations
Ensure infrastructure changes are repeatable, auditable, and production-safe
Design, deploy, and manage Amazon EKS clusters

CI/CD and Delivery Responsibility

Design, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines supporting build, test, and deployment workflows
Own deployment reliability, environment promotion, and rollback strategies
Diagnose and resolve infrastructure-related and deployment-related failures within CI/CD pipelines and production environments
Partner with application engineering teams to improve deployment workflows and reduce operational risk

Operational Readiness and Collaboration

Integrate infrastructure with monitoring, logging, alerting, and observability systems
Support production operations and participate in incident response activities related to infrastructure and deployments
Collaborate with backend and data engineering teams to enable scalable and reliable service operation
Develop and maintain operational documentation, procedures, and support runbooks
Utilize observability data to identify issues and drive corrective actions

Required Qualifications

5+ years of experience in cloud, infrastructure, or DevOps engineering roles
Hands-on ownership of AWS infrastructure in production environments
Strong experience with Infrastructure-as-Code, specifically Terraform
Experience designing and owning CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows
Practical understanding of cloud networking, IAM, and security principles
Experience supporting production systems and resolving infrastructure or deployment issues
Strong collaboration and communication skills when working with cross-functional engineering teams
Working knowledge of Kubernetes or experience supporting EKS-based platforms

Preferred Additional Skills

Experience supporting cloud-based SaaS or data-intensive platforms
Familiarity with Docker-based deployments
Experience integrating infrastructure with monitoring, logging, and observability tooling
Exposure to regulated, safety-critical, or data-sensitive environments
Experience with GitLab CI or similar CI/CD platforms
Familiarity with Jira and Confluence
Knowledge of aviation analytics, flight operations, or aviation technology environments
