The Cloud Engineer will work closely with the customer's IT teams to support the development, testing, and deployment of applications using cloud providers frameworks and tools. This role requires strong expertise in cloud engineering practices, particularly in automating infrastructure provisioning and management through Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform.

You will act as a key technical partner, guiding and enabling customer IT teams to adopt best practices for building scalable, secure, and resilient cloud-native applications. Your focus will be on accelerating cloud adoption by implementing automated, repeatable, and efficient deployment pipelines, helping teams integrate cloud services seamlessly into their development lifecycle.

In addition, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to troubleshoot issues, optimize cloud resources, and ensure solutions meet performance, security, and compliance requirements. By embedding cloud engineering expertise within the customer's development processes, you will help drive a successful cloud transformation and modernize their application landscape as part of the Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) team onsite.

Missions and main activities

The main missions are :

Collaborate with IT and development teams to architect, develop, and deploy cloud-native applications leveraging hyperscaler cloud services and frameworks.
Design, implement, and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, ensuring idempotent, version-controlled, and reusable infrastructure deployments.
Build and optimize automated CI/CD pipelines using tools like Git, Jenkins, or cloud-native services to enable continuous integration, delivery, and deployment.
Apply cloud engineering best practices including immutable infrastructure, microservices architecture, and serverless computing to accelerate cloud adoption.
Perform cloud resource provisioning, configuration management, and environment orchestration across multi-cloud platforms.
Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize cloud infrastructure and applications using logging and observability tools such as CloudWatch, Prometheus, or equivalents.
Collaborate on security implementations including IAM policies, role-based access controls (RBAC), network segmentation, and encryption to ensure compliance and governance.
Produce and maintain technical documentation including architecture diagrams, runbooks, and deployment workflows to support DevOps operations and knowledge transfer.
Engage actively in agile ceremonies, backlog grooming, and sprint retrospectives to foster continuous delivery and operational excellence.
