Define clear module interfaces (inputs/outputs), versioning approaches, and backwards-compatible upgrade paths
Build automation and tooling around infrastructure-as-code workflows (scaffolding, validations, linting, configuration generation, and integration utilities)
Develop clean, testable Python utilities to improve module correctness, developer workflow, and operational efficiency
Implement Git-based engineering practices, including code reviews, release management, and continuous integration and delivery for Terraform
Integrate security, policy checks, and guardrails into module and pipeline workflows, partnering with security, risk, and compliance on exceptions where needed
Produce high-quality module documentation, examples, and adoption guidance that reduce friction for internal customers
Partner with application teams to translate requirements into reusable module patterns and durable abstractions
Improve reliability and operability of database platform modules by incorporating testing strategies and operational considerations
Contribute to roadmap planning and expansion of module coverage and patterns into GCP
Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills
Advanced Terraform expertise building reusable, production-grade modules, including inputs/outputs, documentation, and composability
Experience applying infrastructure-as-code engineering practices, including Git workflows, code reviews, and automated validations
Proficiency building automation/tooling around infrastructure-as-code, including writing clean, testable Python code
Strong software engineering fundamentals, including modular design, debugging, unit/integration testing, and secure coding practices
Hands-on AWS platform experience with emphasis on database services and common patterns (RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB concepts, ElastiCache concepts, and graph database concepts)
Working knowledge of networking and security fundamentals, including VPC/subnets, security groups, routing, encryption with KMS, identity and access management, and secrets handling
Exposure to GCP infrastructure-as-code patterns, including Terraform provider usage, state, and core platform concepts
Ability to design “paved road” developer experiences, including guardrails, sane defaults, and clear examples for adopters
Ability to partner effectively with security, risk, and compliance stakeholders to implement guardrails and exception workflows
Ability to collaborate with application teams to turn requirements into reusable module interfaces and patterns
Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills
Experience with Terraform testing and quality tooling (for example, Terratest, linting, scanning, pre-commit, and policy-as-code concepts)
Familiarity with Terraform state management patterns, including remote state, workspace or stack separation, drift detection, and migration strategies
Experience building standardized “golden module” frameworks (tagging/labels, naming conventions, lifecycle controls, and upgrade guidance)
Experience building continuous integration and delivery pipelines and publishing artifacts to internal registries
Familiarity with containers and orchestration (Docker/Kubernetes) where modules integrate with application platforms
Practical operational knowledge for database platforms (backup/restore, high availability/disaster recovery, performance tuning basics, patching, and maintenance windows)
Experience with Go for platform tooling
