CLOUD ENGINEER

Position: Cloud Engineer with EKS, Terraform and Python experience (Candidate should have both infra and coding (automation) background)

REQUIRED:

• Must have 10+ years IT background
• Strong Python scripting experience
• Strong EKS experience
• 5+ years of Cloud infrastructure and engineering experience including virtualization, cloud, server, storage, and networking (i.e: Terraform, Python, Openstack, Openshift, dockers, etc.)
• VPC, IAM, RDS, s3 – these 4 services are core – they need these skills
• Experience in supporting cloud-based applications environments with distributed enterprise systems and developing implementation standards
• Knowledge of DevOps, SDLC, containers, microservices and APIs design
• Knowledge of Terraform and Gitlab
• ·Knowledge of cloud Computing, IaaS, PaaS, SaaS
• ·Knowledge of cloud orchestration and monitoring technology
• Experience in AWS, GCP, ITSM, IT operations and programming skills is a plus
• Excellent communication skills

WHAT THEY REQUIRE:

• Someone who is strong in both the infrastructure and the code (write the Terraform and knows how to automate).
• AWS EKS is REQUIRED and IMPORTANT! 90% of their infrastructure is EKS. They don’t want to spend time to train someone on this piece or even the coding or infrastructure pieces.
• Infrastructure in cloud, majority of infra is AWS EKS and everything is IaC, Terraform

WHAT’S IN PLACE TODAY?

• Everything that the client has, everything is going to be in AWS. They build multiple EKS clusters, and the infrastructure is ready.
• Everything is written from scratch.. There will be some testing to be done in the cloud as well.
• There is only another counterpart who can be called ENTEPRISE ARCHITECT TEAM – who takes business requirements, picks the right tool… they need some infrastructure and try to dictate what the cloud team needs to do. However, this Architect team, they don’t necessarily understand the infrastructure piece – and this falls on Hiring Manager’s team – to scale EKS.
• In 2-3 years, everything that is on prem is going to the cloud. When it goes live, the engineers should also be able to support the deployment.
• In cloud, they are already infra as code.. everything has to go through a pipeline – Terraform and a GitLab…
