Apply Description The Senior Cloud Engineer builds, automates, and operates Fervo’s Azure-native cloud platform, turning architectural designs into repeatable, well-governed infrastructure. The role centers on infrastructure as code, GitHub-based delivery, self-service platform capabilities, and automated configuration of Linux and Windows systems. Success requires hands-on engineering, demonstrated coding ability, and the discipline to manage infrastructure through version-controlled, peer-reviewed practices rather than manual change. Requirements Responsibilities Infrastructure as Code & Delivery • Build and maintain infrastructure as code (Terraform and/or Bicep) and reusable modules to provision Azure resources consistently across environments and sites • Build CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions and enforce GitOps workflows where changes flow through version control, pull requests, and peer review Platform Engineering & Self-Service • Build and iterate golden paths and self-service capabilities, with guardrails codified as policy to keep provisioning within security, cost, and tagging standards • Document platform capabilities so internal teams can consume them without one-to-one engineering support Systems Configuration & Fleet Management • Manage Linux and Windows configuration through automation—Ansible and SUSE Manager (or equivalent) for Linux; Microsoft Intune and/or Group Policy for Windows—rather than manual, host-by-host changes • Maintain baseline images and standards so new hosts, including field and edge compute, are provisioned in a known, compliant state Operations, Security & Compliance • Operate Azure landing zones and platform services within an Entra ID / Zero Trust model, with observability across monitoring, logging, alerting, and cost • Ensure changes flow through auditable pipelines supporting SOX ITGC, and apply NERC CIP-aligned controls where platform components support in-scope systems Qualifications Required • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience) • 8 years in infrastructure support or engineering with demonstrated progression • 6+ years in cloud engineering, infrastructure automation, or platform engineering • Production experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform and/or Bicep), including reusable modules and state management • Hands-on experience with Git/GitHub and GitHub Actions for CI/CD or similar product • Demonstrated coding ability in Python and/or PowerShell, evidenced by repositories or work samples • Experience managing both Linux and Windows systems through automation (e.g., Ansible, Microsoft Intune and/or Group Policy) Preferred • Platform engineering experience: internal developer platforms, golden paths, and self-service provisioning • Google Cloud Platform (GCP) experience; Azure remains the primary platform • SUSE Manager (or equivalent, such as Red Hat Satellite) and Microsoft Intune at scale • Policy-as-code (Azure Policy, Open Policy Agent) and secrets management (Azure Key Vault, HashiCorp Vault) • Regulated-sector experience and familiarity with NIST CSF, ISO 27001, or NERC CIP • Certifications such as Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104), Azure DevOps Engineer Expert (AZ-400), or HashiCorp Terraform Associate
