You will define and implement how Nutanix governs, automates, secures, and optimizes public-cloud infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure. This role allows you to own critical cloud governance, FinOps, and operational capabilities while increasing the team's ability to scale securely and efficiently through automation.\nAbout the TeamYou will join the G&A - IT Cloud Ops team, reporting to the Sr. Manager of Service Engineering. We are a team focused on building reliable automation and establishing reusable standards that eliminate manual operational overhead. We value technical mentorship, clear documentation, and cross-functional alignment. This role is aligned to Pacific Time to support core team collaboration, and candidates who can work near Nutanix headquarters are preferred.\nYour Role\nCloud Automation & Platform Architecture\nDesign, build, and operate maintainable, reusable, and observable cloud platforms and self-service workflows using Python, cloud APIs, and event-driven patterns. Replace one-off scripts with enterprise solutions across large, multi-account, and multi-region AWS environments (including cross-account access and account lifecycles). Establish operational ownership, testing, documentation, release management, and rollback standards.\nAWS Technical Leadership & Security\nServe as the principal SME for AWS architecture, governance, and core services (IAM, Organizations, EventBridge, EC2, S3, billing, and cross-account roles). In partnership with InfoSec, define and enforce security guardrails, privileged access controls, resource policies, account hygiene, regional/service restrictions, and exception workflows. Debug complex production issues involving IAM, networking, bucket policies, and cross-service integrations while evaluating new AWS capabilities for platform enablement.\nGitOps, CI/CD & Delivery Automation\nImplement auditable, version-controlled GitOps and CI/CD pipelines using pull requests, peer reviews, branching strategies, and progressive delivery. Integrate security, cost, compliance, policy-as-code, secrets management, and automated testing directly into the software delivery lifecycle. Eliminate toil via event-driven remediation, scheduled automation, clear runbooks, and strict environment separation.\nInfrastructure as Code (IaC) & Configuration Management\nLead the architectural design, module creation, and lifecycle management for IaC using Terraform (with exposure to Pulumi or similar). Standardize multi-account/multi-cloud state management, provider configurations, and drift detection while enforcing code-review discipline and safe state-change practices. Rationalize platform tooling to eliminate brittle or duplicative automation.\nMulti-Cloud Governance & FinOps\nDrive a unified governance, visibility, and cost-optimization model across AWS, GCP, and Azure. Normalize cloud billing/usage data into actionable reporting models for business, finance, and engineering stakeholders. Automate rightsizing, savings commitment strategies, tagging compliance, and waste reduction-balancing cost efficiency against reliability, security, and developer speed.\nWhat You Will Bring\n7+ years of professional experience operating or engineering cloud infrastructure in AWS.\n\nDemonstrated proficiency in AWS IAM, Organizations, account and access patterns, EC2, S3, EventBridge, and cloud APIs.\n\nStrong hands-on experience with GitOps and DevOps practices, including version control, CI/CD, automated testing, and production change management.\n\nStrong Infrastructure as Code experience, especially Terraform.\n\nStrong automation and scripting ability in Python, Go, or a comparable language.\n\nAt least working knowledge of GCP and Azure governance, IAM, resource organization, billing, and automation concepts.\n\nLearn More About the Technology: https://www.nutanixbible.com/\nWork Arrangement:Hybrid: This role operates in a hybrid capacity, blending the benefits of remote work with the advantages of in-person collaboration. For most roles, that will mean coming into an office a minimum of 3 days per week, however certain roles and/or teams may require more frequent in-office presence. Additional team-specific guidance and norms will be provided by your manager.\n--","description_format":"text","description_chars":4456,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Venture Capital"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-01T20:05:26Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":15,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.427,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":21,"expected_fill_days":5,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/twitter-handle-lead-cloud-automation-governance-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/twitter-handle-lead-cloud-automation-governance-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T07:20:05Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11806,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":43912},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=43912"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftwitter-handle-lead-cloud-automation-governance-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftwitter-handle-lead-cloud-automation-governance-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftwitter-handle-lead-cloud-automation-governance-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/twitter-handle-lead-cloud-automation-governance-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftwitter-handle-lead-cloud-automation-governance-engineer"}]}
