Join Sovrn as a Senior/Staff Cloud Engineer, where you'll design large-scale AWS architectures, lead the adoption of Infrastructure as Code, and serve as an escalation point for complex production incidents. You'll mentor engineers, translate architectural decisions for non-technical stakeholders, and shape the development of our data cloud platform. Enjoy first-class health benefits, flexible vacation, retirement benefits, and a focus on mental and physical health.

Design and implement large-scale, secure, and cost-effective AWS cloud architectures, acting as the primary decision-maker on platform selection and cloud-native design patterns.

We expect you to learn new things in this role and encourage you to apply if your experience is close to what we're looking for

Responsibilities

  • Lead the adoption of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automation best practices across teams, developing internal Terraform modules and architecting CI/CD pipelines for full infrastructure automation.
  • Serve as an escalation point for complex production incidents, applying expert-level troubleshooting skills to diagnose and resolve issues spanning multiple services and systems.
  • Demonstrated experience designing agent skills that will reduce the administrative drag of the engineering team. Champions for AI integration from inception and responsible for adoption into production environments
  • Experience designing observability systems (metrics, logs, alerting) and applying data-driven approaches to incident management, root cause analysis, and operational improvement

Requirements

  • Deep proficiency in AWS cloud services (VPC, EC2, S3, IAM, CloudWatch, etc) with a track record of designing and owning secure, scalable, production-ready architectures using cloud-native design principles
  • Deep familiarity with industry leading architecture and administration of Peta-scale data lakehouse platforms, such as Databricks, Snowflake, or similar
  • Strong communication skills: ability to present complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences, negotiate cross-team requirements and timelines, and produce architectural documentation that others build from
  • Extensive hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) — building reusable internal modules, implementing policy-as-code, and architecting CI/CD pipelines for full infrastructure automation
  • AWS certifications (Solutions Architect – Professional or DevOps Engineer) are a strong plus

Preferred

  • In-depth knowledge of cloud networking, security best practices, and Identity and Access Management; experience enforcing governance through automated policy checks
