🏢 About OPEN Data Jobs

ODJ is organized around Roles and Openings. A Role is a durable career type, such as Data Engineer or AI Engineer: it describes the work, the skills that count, and where the path can lead. An Opening is a specific position hiring right now, with a level, a location, and an application. Roles help you see where you fit; from there, there is more than one way to move.

🎯 The Role

Cloud Infrastructure Engineers build and operate the shared technical foundation on which applications run. Their scope includes networking, compute, storage, identity, secrets, connectivity, and recovery capabilities, designed as a coherent environment rather than a collection of service configurations.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Versioned cloud environments for networks, compute, storage, identity, and connectivity.
• Landing-zone patterns, account structures, and guardrails for teams using shared cloud services.
• Resilience capabilities including backup, recovery, failover, and capacity management.
• Monitoring, alerting, and cloud security posture management for infrastructure health and configuration.
• Reusable platform services that give application teams a consistent path to deploy and operate.

📌 Required Qualifications

• Experience designing or operating Amazon Web Services or comparable cloud networking, compute, storage, and identity services.
• Infrastructure-as-code and configuration-management practice with Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or comparable tools.
• Knowledge of identity and access management, secrets handling, and network segmentation.
• Experience with observability, capacity planning, backup, recovery, and incident response.
• Ability to evaluate cloud configurations against mission, resilience, cost, and security requirements.

⭐ Desirable Experience

• Experience with cloud security posture management, a continuous practice of identifying, prioritizing, and addressing cloud configuration and vulnerability issues.
• Evidence of resilience engineering, recovery testing, shared-service design, or authorization support.

Compensation, benefits, work location, and employment terms are set for each specific opening and will be stated with that opening.
