You’ll also automate infrastructure with Terraform, manage configuration using Puppet across hybrid environments, and help standardize cloud operations spanning AWS and GCP. This is a hybrid position based in either Austin, TX or Tallahassee, FL. What You'll Do Legacy Modernization & Multi-Cloud Transformation • Decompose EC2- and Compute Engine-hosted legacy systems and re-architect components into AWS- and GCP-native services (Lambda, ECS/Fargate, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, S3, Cloud Storage, SQS, Pub/Sub, etc.). • Refactor infrastructure for scalability, modularity, and cost efficiency across both clouds. • Identify and eliminate underutilized compute resources to drive EC2 and VM footprint reduction.

Requirements What You'll Bring Required Qualifications • 1-5 years of experience as a Cloud, DevOps, or Platform Engineer in production environments. • Strong hands-on experience with AWS (EC2, Lambda, IAM, VPC, S3, CloudWatch, etc.) and/or GCP (Compute Engine, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Cloud Storage, Cloud Monitoring, etc.). • Proficiency with Terraform for Infrastructure as Code and Puppet for configuration management. • Scripting experience in Python or Bash for automation and tooling. • Solid understanding of networking fundamentals, IAM/Cloud IAM, and Linux-based systems.
