12+ Month Contract
JPC - 20461
Solugenix is assisting a client, a prestigious and large investment management company, in
their search for a Senior Cloud Platform Engineer. This is a 12+ month contract
opportunity based out of Irvine, CA (Hybrid).
Senior Cloud Platform Engineer responsible for designing, building, and operating scalable,
secure, and cost-efficient cloud infrastructure. Focus on platform enablement,
infrastructure automation, CI/CD, event-driven streaming, and operational excellence
across multi-account AWS environments — empowering engineering teams through selfservice tooling and reliable, well-governed cloud foundations.

What you'll do

Responsibilities:
• Design and operate scalable, highly available, multi-account cloud infrastructure
(AWS).
• Build and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code modules and standards using Terraform.
• Develop reusable platform patterns, landing zones, and golden paths for
engineering teams.
• Optimize and operate CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Harness).
• Enable developer self-service and reduce manual intervention through automation.
• Manage Kubernetes platforms (EKS) networking, scaling, upgrades, and workload
onboarding.
• Operate and support Kafka-based event streaming platforms — topics, schemas,
connectors, and cluster reliability.
• Build and integrate REST APIs and self-service tooling to streamline platform
workflows.
• Implement cloud security and governance (IAM, OAuth/OIDC, OKTA, SSL/TLS,
secrets management).
• Drive cloud cost optimization, capacity planning, and FinOps practices.
• Implement observability — metrics, logging, tracing, alerting, and SLOs.
• Lead incident response, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis across platform
and runtime systems.
• Partner with application teams to troubleshoot infrastructure, deployment, and
runtime issues.
• Drive continuous improvement using operational insights and user feedback.
• Enhance documentation, runbooks, and platform usability.

What we're looking for

Must Have Skills:
• Cloud: AWS (EKS, EC2, VPC/Networking, IAM, S3, RDS, Lambda)
• IaC: Terraform (modules, state management, policy-as-code)
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Harness
• APIs & Integration: REST APIs (design, development, integration), Async APIs
• Containers & Orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes (EKS)
• Security: OAuth, OIDC, OKTA, SSL/TLS, IAM, secrets management
Desired Skills:
• Event Streaming: Kafka, Confluent (topics, schemas, Kafka Connect, cluster linking)
• Monitoring/Observability: Datadog, CloudWatch
• Programming/Scripting: Java/Python
Key Competencies:
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving across distributed systems.
• Ability to translate operational issues into durable platform improvements.
• System-thinking approach to reliability, security, and cost.
• Effective collaboration and technical mentorship across engineering teams
