Overall Function

As a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer on our team, you’ll work with fellow engineers, partners and stakeholders to design, automate and manage the deployments in our Mission Operations, Processing Pipeline and Global Web Tier infrastructure. You will strive to understand user needs and engineering requirements, and utilize your expertise with Terraform, Linux and Cloud infrastructure, to design solutions that provide impact worldwide.

You will accomplish the above in deep collaboration with Lead Cloud Infrastructure engineer and our Platform Lead. Together, you will design and deploy these architectures, including environments for development and staging. Furthermore, you’ll be responsible for designing and implementing complex systems such as non-linear, (sometimes) human-in-the-loop CI/CD workflows, secrets management and systems for logging and observability. And no, you won’t just “throw tools and money at the problem”, you’ll be given the freedom and responsibility to engineer and implement robust, efficient solutions that truly meet the needs of our mission. Finally, you’ll also be a significant contributor in the overall design, maintenance and expansion of our developer infrastructure, which includes both staff and external partners.

The Sr. Cloud Infrastructure Engineer will report directly to the Sr. Engineering Director, Data Products for MethaneSAT, LLC, and will work closely with other MethaneSAT, LLC staff, key contractors, and EDF staff.
