Position 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.

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.
