The Opportunity
We are seeking a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to help design, build, and maintain the systems that power NRG's data and software platforms. This role will focus on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) infrastructure, Terraform-based automation, and CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Jenkins.
You'll work closely with our data and software engineering teams – as well as our external infrastructure partners – to ensure that environments are reliable, secure, and reproducible across development, staging, and production.
If you thrive on solving complex infrastructure challenges, enjoy automating everything you can, and want to build scalable foundations for analytics and applications, we'd love to hear from you.
Your Impact
- Design, implement, and maintain GCP infrastructure using Terraform, covering everything from IAM policies and networking to environment provisioning.
- Develop and manage CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions and Jenkins for automated testing, deployment, and environment consistency.
- Support and improve infrastructure observability through monitoring, alerting, and logging solutions.
- Collaborate with data and software engineers to provision and optimize resources for applications, APIs, and data pipelines.
- Partner with external infrastructure support providers to troubleshoot issues, implement new architecture, and maintain compliance with best practices.
- Contribute to infrastructure documentation, design reviews, and continuous improvement of internal cloud standards.
- Ensure infrastructure is secure, cost-efficient, and reproducible, aligning with modern DevOps and cloud reliability principles.
Who We're Looking For
Experience & Background:
- 4+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering roles.
- Strong experience managing Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments, including IAM, networking, and project structure.
- Proficiency with Terraform and infrastructure-as-code patterns.
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools, especially GitHub Actions and Jenkins.
- Familiarity with containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) and modern deployment workflows.
- Experience supporting data and analytics workloads (e.g., BigQuery, Snowflake, dbt) a plus.
- Scripting experience with Python or Bash for automation and tooling.
Ways of Working:
- You approach infrastructure as a product – reliable, tested, and version-controlled.
- You communicate clearly, proactively, and in partnership with cross-functional teams.
- You balance pragmatism with long-term maintainability, knowing when to optimize and when to ship.
- You thrive in collaborative environments and take ownership of your workstreams.
- You're organized, dependable, and motivated by improving how systems run.
