Senior Cloud Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Senior Cloud Engineer (hands-on platform engineer)
• Focus: Cloud infrastructure + services + governed AI capabilities
• Work hours: 8am–5pm
• Education: Bachelor’s
• Compensation: $110,000–$130,000 per year

Description

Build a cloud and AI platform so application teams, data scientists, and business lines can use secure, governed capabilities without rebuilding security, deployment, or governance every time. You’ll work across the stack—from AWS infrastructure and production APIs/event-driven services to retrieval-augmented generation and agent workflows—then help turn early AI experiments into auditable services.

Responsibilities

• Cloud platform engineering on AWS: account structure, networking, identity and access, container/serverless runtimes, data stores, shared services; define infrastructure with infrastructure-as-code and apply security/compliance guardrails.
• Full-stack delivery: build back-end APIs and event-driven services, modern front ends, and the data layer; improve testing, code review, and design standards with reusable reference implementations.
• AI platform engineering: safe generative AI platform using Amazon Bedrock and a model gateway; implement RAG with vector stores/knowledge bases; orchestrate with LangChain/LangGraph and support approved agent runtimes such as OpenClaw; provide reusable patterns for prompts, tools, memory, and evaluation.
• Governed and secure agents: least-privilege identity and permissions, sandboxed execution, human approval for consequential actions, and complete audit logs; partner on threat modeling for prompt injection, data leakage, and excessive autonomy.
• Evaluation, observability, and cost: automated evaluation for quality, accuracy, safety, and drift with regression tests in the delivery pipeline; instrument latency, token consumption, error rates, and cost.
• Delivery automation and reliability: contribute to CI/CD pipelines, change traceability, and SLOs; participate in on-call and lead incident response and corrective actions.
• Technical leadership: mentor engineers, review designs, write architecture decision records, represent the platform in design reviews and with auditors, and evaluate new tools with evidence-based judgment.

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, AD&D, short-term disability, and a 401(k) plan (eligibility applies).
