Cloud Engineer • Principal

Who you are

You have extensive experience in cloud infrastructure engineering, particularly with public clouds like AWS and Azure — you've designed and implemented scalable cloud solutions that enhance developer productivity and streamline workflows. Your expertise in Kubernetes allows you to manage container orchestration effectively, ensuring that applications run smoothly and efficiently in cloud environments.

You understand the complexities of cloud infrastructure and have a proven track record of abstracting away these complexities for product teams — your ability to create self-service infrastructure solutions balances speed with safety, empowering teams to innovate without compromising security. You are passionate about driving the adoption of modern infrastructure practices and continuously seek ways to improve developer experiences.

You thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy working closely with cross-functional teams — your strong communication skills enable you to articulate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, fostering a culture of understanding and cooperation. You are committed to creating equitable workspaces and believe in the importance of diversity and inclusion in tech.

Desirable

Experience with infrastructure as code tools and CI/CD pipelines is a plus — familiarity with Terraform or similar tools will help you in automating infrastructure deployment and management. A background in software development can also enhance your ability to understand the needs of product teams and deliver effective solutions.

What you'll do

As the Principal Cloud Infrastructure Engineer at Highspot, you will lead the design and evolution of our cloud-based infrastructure — your role will involve collaborating with product teams to understand their needs and translating those into scalable and secure platform capabilities. You will focus on improving developer workflows by implementing best practices in cloud architecture and infrastructure management.

You will be responsible for abstracting cloud complexities, enabling product teams to focus on building features rather than managing infrastructure — this includes creating self-service tools that allow teams to deploy and manage their applications with ease. Your expertise in AWS and Azure will be crucial in ensuring that our infrastructure is robust, efficient, and cost-effective.

You will also drive the adoption of modern infrastructure practices across the organization — this involves mentoring other engineers, sharing knowledge, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. You will work closely with security teams to ensure that our infrastructure meets compliance and security standards, balancing speed with safety in all deployments.
