We are looking for a Junior Cloud Engineer to join our infrastructure team and begin building hands-on experience in cloud-native environments. This role is about skill acquisition and reliability - you'll work under supervision on well-scoped infrastructure tasks, building the foundations you'll need to grow into a Standard Cloud Engineer and beyond on our Platform or SRE career paths.
You'll get close guidance from senior engineers as you learn Linux fundamentals, cloud basics, containers, and CI/CD - with room to grow at your own pace.
Responsibilities
- Write basic Infrastructure as Code (IaC) components
- Maintain CI/CD pipelines with supervision
- Handle low-risk operational issues
- Search logs and read dashboards to help investigate known issues
- Learn how incidents are declared and your role in escalating them
- Build foundational knowledge of Linux, cloud, and containers
- Receive close guidance and mentorship from senior cloud/platform engineers
Requirements
- Less than 2 years of experience in this role
- Basic understanding of Linux command-line usage (navigation, file operations, permissions)
- Familiarity with core cloud concepts (compute, storage, networking) - hands-on portal experience is a plus
- Basic understanding of containers (Docker) - can read a Dockerfile and run a local stack via Compose
- Familiarity with Git and collaborative workflows (branches, merge requests)
- Basic understanding of security fundamentals (least privilege, not storing credentials in files)
- Eagerness to learn, ask for help when stuck, and grow within a structured mentorship path
Nice to Have
- Exposure to Infrastructure as Code (e.g. reading/modifying a Terraform configuration)
- Basic scripting experience (Bash or Python)
- Coursework or personal projects involving cloud platforms
- Familiarity with reading logs/dashboards to investigate an issue
