Cloud Applications Engineer

Ensign is hiring !

About the Role

We are looking for a motivated engineer who enjoys building things, solving problems, and learning new technologies.

You will develop, deploy, and support applications running on Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS). You will work across application development, cloud platforms, automation, and DevOps practices while learning from experienced engineers and taking ownership of real business solutions.

This role is ideal for entry level applicants or engineers with up to 3 years of experience who are hungry to learn, experiment, and grow quickly.

We hire for attitude, curiosity, and ownership. Technical skills can be taught. A strong learning mindset cannot.

What You Will Do

• Build and maintain web applications, APIs, and automation solutions.
• Develop and deploy cloud-native applications on Azure and AWS.
• Work with modern development and DevOps tools including Git, CI/CD pipelines, containers, and cloud services.
• Troubleshoot and resolve application and platform issues.
• Automate manual processes and improve operational efficiency.
• Collaborate with business users, developers, architects, and security teams.
• Continuously learn new technologies and apply them to real-world problems.

What We Are Looking For

Must Have

• Diploma or Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, or related disciplines.
• Strong interest in software engineering, cloud technologies, and modern application development.
• Programming experience in at least one modern language such as C#, Rust, Java, JavaScript, or TypeScript.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Good communication and teamwork skills.

We Value Attitude More Than Experience

We are looking for people who:

• Love learning and adapting to new technologies.
• Take ownership and see things through to completion.
• Are curious and enjoy solving difficult problems.
• Are willing to experiment, fail fast, and improve.
• Thrive in a fast-moving environment.
• Want to build practical solutions that create business value.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to Azure or AWS.
• Experience with Git or GitLab.
• Experience with web development, REST APIs, or microservices.
• Experience with C#, Rust, JavaScript, or TypeScript projects.
• Personal projects, hackathons, internships, open-source contributions, or homelab experience.
• Experience using AI-powered development tools and coding assistants.

What We Value

We value builders over credentials. Whether through school projects, hackathons, open-source contributions, or personal initiatives, we want engineers who enjoy creating solutions, learning new technologies, and pushing themselves beyond their comfort zone.

Candidates who can demonstrate initiative through personal projects, GitHub repositories, cloud experiments, automation projects, homelabs, or AI-assisted development work will stand out.

What You Will Gain

• Hands-on experience building enterprise applications in Azure and AWS.
• Exposure to cloud architecture, DevOps, automation, and AI-enabled engineering practices.
• Opportunities to work with emerging technologies and modern cloud-native platforms.
• A steep learning curve and significant career growth opportunities.
• Mentorship from experienced engineers and technology leaders.

What Success Looks Like

• Learns new technologies rapidly and applies them effectively.
• Takes ownership of problems and follows through to completion.
• Continuously improves applications, processes, and user experience.
• Demonstrates initiative rather than waiting for direction.
• Contributes positively to a high-performance engineering culture.
• Builds secure, reliable, and scalable solutions that deliver business value.
