[Remote] Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. iDENTIFY is a company focused on delivering secure and reliable data platforms to banking and fintech clients. The Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer is responsible for designing and managing cloud environments, ensuring security compliance, and automating infrastructure processes to maintain operational reliability.
Responsibilities
- Designs, implements, and maintains cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure aligned with banking security requirements. Decisions are documented and defensible
- Builds and manages multi-account, multi-region environments with strong isolation and governance
- Implements and manages networking components end-to-end: VPCs, subnets, routing, load balancers, private connectivity
- Anticipates infrastructure requirements for upcoming client engagements and raises them before they become delivery blockers
- Develops and maintains Terraform modules for repeatable, auditable infrastructure provisioning—built for reuse across engagements, not just the project in front of you
- Automates infrastructure lifecycle management. If something is done by hand more than twice, it should be automated
- Ensures all IaC follows best practices for versioning, reuse, and security. Code is reviewed, not just functional
- Establishes and documents IaC standards that other engineers build within
- Builds and supports CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions (and GitLab where applicable), treated as production infrastructure
- Supports containerized workloads and orchestration using Kubernetes (EKS)—comfortable operating them, not just provisioning them
- Develops event-driven and serverless solutions in Python to support automation, monitoring, and platform integrations
- Serves as the infrastructure point of contact for engineering and architecture teams during delivery. Proactively surfaces constraints affecting timelines
- Implements and manages IAM roles, policies, and access controls. Least-privilege is the default
- Configures security best practices: secrets management, encryption at rest and in transit, centralized logging, and anomaly alerting
- Supports secure data access patterns for Snowflake and related cloud services with the same rigor applied to network controls
- When a client's security team asks how something is configured, this role can answer precisely
- Proactively identifies security gaps in existing infrastructure and drives remediation—in client environments and iDENTIFY's own platform
- Monitors infrastructure health using CloudWatch and related observability services. Alerting thresholds are configured thoughtfully, not left at defaults
- Troubleshoots and resolves infrastructure, deployment, and performance issues with urgency when client environments are affected
- Participates in incident response and root cause analysis. Fix it, understand it, prevent recurrence
- Leads post-incident reviews and drives resulting action items to completion. Reliability improvements don't stall after the incident closes
- Represents iDENTIFY's infrastructure practice with professionalism and technical authority
- Raises conflicts between infrastructure requirements and delivery schedules early—before work starts, not after
- Takes ownership from design through production with minimal supervision
Skills
- 8+ years in cloud infrastructure or platform engineering with demonstrated ownership of production environments
- Deep, hands-on experience with both AWS and Azure—fluent, not familiar. Able to design and troubleshoot complex multi-account environments on either platform without significant ramp time
- Strong proficiency in Terraform as the default mode of working
- Solid experience with CI/CD pipeline design, Kubernetes (EKS), and Python-based automation
- A genuine security mindset: IAM, secrets management, encryption, and logging in regulated or compliance-sensitive environments. Banking or financial services experience is a significant advantage
- Experience leading infrastructure as the primary owner in client-facing or consulting-style engagements
