We’re hiring a fully remote, full-time Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to join a growing engineering team building scalable, secure cloud-native environments in AWS. This organization is investing heavily in modern DevOps practices and Kubernetes (EKS) to support containerized, microservices-based applications. If you’re passionate about AWS architecture, Kubernetes, automation, and infrastructure as code, this role puts you directly in the driver’s seat of cloud reliability and performance.

This is a true hands-on engineering opportunity — not just maintenance work. The #1 feature of this role is ownership. You’ll help design and evolve Kubernetes environments in AWS, influence infrastructure standards, and contribute to cloud migration and modernization initiatives. They’re looking for someone who enjoys solving complex infrastructure problems, improving CI/CD processes, implementing observability, and strengthening cloud security. If you want autonomy, high-impact cloud-native work, and the ability to grow technically in a collaborative remote environment, this is an opportunity where your voice and expertise will matter.
