How we know
It hasn't been reposted, listed twice, or left up unusually long, and the posting doesn't say it's a talent pool.
Ghostless records the day it first sees a posting, so a repost can't reset its age. This one was already up when Ghostless started tracking Creativechaos, so its true age is longer.

About the role
Job Summary
Creative Chaos is seeking a hands-on Cloud Engineer to design, automate, secure, and operate cloud workloads across Azure and AWS. This role owns core platform components including infrastructure as code (Terraform), Kubernetes (AKS/EKS), secure networking, CI/CD enablement, observability, and FinOps. You will work closely with DevOps, software, and web engineering teams to deliver resilient, scalable, and compliant cloud platforms. The ideal candidate is strong in multi-cloud architecture, Kubernetes operations, identity and access management, security guardrails, automation, and platform reliability—bringing a pragmatic, automation-first mindset to cloud engineering.
Key Responsibilities
Platform Engineering
- Design and implement landing zones (hub-and-spoke, policy guardrails) across Azure and AWS.
- Build and maintain Terraform modules, workspaces, remote state, and automated environment provisioning (dev → prod).
- Operate and harden AKS/EKS clusters including node pools, autoscaling, ingress, image scanning/signing, and zero-downtime upgrades.
- Implement and enhance CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins) for build, test, scan, deploy, and gated promotions.
- Enable application platforms such as API Management/API Gateway, Azure Functions/AWS Lambda, and messaging services (Service Bus, SNS/SQS, EventBridge).
- Own observability across Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, App Insights, CloudWatch, X-Ray, and OpenTelemetry, ensuring actionable alerts, runbooks, SLIs/SLOs, and on-call participation.
- Drive FinOps practices including tagging standards, cost allocation, rightsizing, reserved instances/savings plans, egress optimization, and Well-Architected reviews.

- Manage change control and audit processes through IaC-first workflows, along with runbooks and architectural decision records.
- Maintain patch and version hygiene for Kubernetes, node OS/AMIs, container images, and managed services, including automated drift detection.
- Lead incident investigations across Azure/AWS, perform RCA, and implement preventative controls (policies, guardrails, pipeline checks).
- Provide architectural input on security, reliability, networking, and cost during design reviews.
Requirements
- Bachelors in IT, CS or related field
- Minimum 5 years of related experience
- Hands-on production experience in both Azure and AWS .

- CI/CD implementation experience with GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or Jenkins; security gates and artefact repositories.
- Observability/SRE experience across metrics, logs, tracing, alerting, incident response, and post-mortems.
- Strong scripting abilities (PowerShell, Bash) and OS-level expertise across Linux/Windows.
- Experience with DR patterns (IaC rebuilds), HA architectures, RTO/RPO planning.
Desirable Skills
- M365 Conditional Access (global policies, break-glass, step-up).
- AWS landing zone tooling (Control Tower, IAM Identity Center, account vending/guardrails).
- Ability to read/maintain CloudFormation or Bicep where Terraform is primary.
- Web hosting experience: CDN/WAF (Front Door/CloudFront), TLS/PKI, caching, performance tuning.
- Data fundamentals: S3/Blob lifecycle, RDS/Aurora/SQL MI/Postgres, Redis/ElastiCache/Azure Cache.
