Terraform Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

Title: Terraform Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

Location: Remote

Duration: 1+ year

We are seeking a highly skilled Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with a primary focus on Terraform and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). The ideal candidate will have extensive experience architecting and delivering cloud infrastructure through Terraform-based automation in secure, regulated environments. While hands-on experience with Azure Government Cloud is preferred—and AWS GovCloud experience is also desirable—direct government cloud experience is not required for highly qualified Terraform/IaC engineers.

This role will support the design and deployment of Landing Zones, cloud foundations, and application migration architectures within Azure (preferred) or AWS environments.

Required Qualifications

• Expert-level proficiency with Terraform—including module development, testing, state management, CI/CD integration, and Git workflows.
• 5+ years of experience in cloud engineering, DevOps, or infrastructure automation roles.
• Strong understanding of Infrastructure as Code principles, cloud automation, and environment lifecycle management.
• Working knowledge of cloud architectures including compute, networking, identity, security, and monitoring.
• Experience with at least one enterprise cloud provider (Azure preferred; AWS also valuable).
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills.

Certifications such as:

• Azure (AZ-104, AZ-305, AZ-700, AZ-500)
• AWS (Solutions Architect, SysOps, Security)
• Equivalent hands-on experience will be considered in place of certifications
• Proficiency with scripting languages (PowerShell, Python, Bash)
• Experience supporting government, defense, or highly regulated environments
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks (FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, DoD IL levels)

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the Terraform subject matter expert, building reusable modules, automating infrastructure provisioning, and enforcing IaC best practices.
• Develop, deploy, and maintain Landing Zones or equivalent cloud foundation frameworks in Azure and/or AWS environments.
• Support application migration projects by designing scalable, secure cloud architectures and implementing the required infrastructure through IaC.
• Build secure, compliant network and identity architectures including VNET/VPC design, segmentation, policies, RBAC/IAM, and monitoring.
• Collaborate with DevOps, security, and application teams to define standards, guardrails, and automation patterns.
• Continuously optimize cloud environments for performance, reliability, and cost management.
• Create and maintain architecture diagrams, IaC documentation, and operational procedures.

Preferred Qualifications (Not Required)

• Experience with Azure Government Cloud (preferred) or AWS GovCloud
• Experience building Azure Landing Zones or AWS Control Tower–style landing zone architectures
