About the Role:
We're looking for a Senior Terraform Developer with architect-level infrastructure-as-code expertise to join our team. This person will take requirements and requests from stakeholders and independently design, build, and deliver production-grade Terraform solutions with minimal oversight. You'll be a go-to authority on infrastructure automation, module design, and IaC best practices across the organization.

What You'll Do:

• Translate infrastructure and platform requests from the team into well-architected Terraform solutions, working independently from requirements to delivery.
• Design, build, and maintain reusable, versioned Terraform modules for multi-environment, multi-account/multi-cloud infrastructure.
• Own the architecture of the team's IaC codebase: state management strategy, module structure, workspace/environment separation, and CI/CD pipelines for Terraform.
• Review Terraform code quality, security, and cost implications; set and enforce standards for the broader engineering org.
• Troubleshoot complex state, drift, and dependency issues, and lead remediation efforts.
• Partner with security, platform, and application teams to ensure infrastructure changes meet compliance and governance requirements.
• Evaluate and integrate tooling (policy-as-code, testing frameworks, module registries) to mature the IaC practice.
• Document architecture decisions and provide clear runbooks/guidance so requests can be handed off with minimal back-and-forth.

What We're Looking For:

• 10+ years of general software/infrastructure engineering experience.
• 5+ years of hands-on Terraform experience, including designing module architecture from scratch (not just consuming existing modules).
• Demonstrated ability to take a request or requirement and deliver a finished, production-ready solution with limited guidance or hand-holding.
• Deep knowledge of at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP); multi-cloud experience a plus.
• Strong grasp of Terraform state management, workspaces, remote backends, and collaboration patterns at scale.
• Experience with CI/CD for infrastructure (e.g., Atlantis, Terraform Cloud/Enterprise, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins).
• Familiarity with policy-as-code (Sentinel, OPA/Conftest) and automated testing for infrastructure (Terratest or similar).
• Solid understanding of networking, security groups/IAM, and cloud cost optimization.
• Excellent written communication able to document decisions and hand off work clearly to a distributed/remote team.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Kubernetes provisioning via Terraform.
• Contributions to public or internal Terraform module registries.
• Prior experience mentoring or leading a small team of infrastructure engineers.

The rate/ Salary range is dependent on numerous factors including Qualification, Experience and Location.
