Position Overview
As impact.com scales, we require a Senior Cloud Engineer to serve as a technical specialist for our infrastructure substrate. You will be part of a specialised squad (IaC & Provisioning,
Observability, SRE, SecOps, or FinOps) focused on ensuring that production environments are stable, observable, secure, and cost-effective. In this role, you treat the infrastructure layer as a capability provider to the rest of the engineering organisation. You are responsible for executing the technical roadmap, covering everything from IaC evolution and GCP/AWS Kubernetes and compute management to vulnerability remediation and observability standards.
Key Responsibilities
Infrastructure & Compute Engineering
- Author, maintain, and version high-quality IaC modules (Terraform) for GCP and AWS services, ensuring they are consumable by platform engineering.
- Deploy and maintain foundational networking topology, VPCs, DNS, and IAM primitives.
- Manage the lifecycle of GKE/EKS clusters and compute instances, including the maintenance of secure base images and container standards.
- Drive drift detection and remediation, ensuring automated scans run daily with remediation completed within 24 hours.
Reliability & Observability
- Maintain observability backends (metrics pipelines, log storage, and alerting) to ensure infrastructure-layer monitoring standards are met.
