Job Description
The Senior Cloud Engineer builds, automates, and operates Fervo’s Azure-native cloud platform, turning architectural designs into repeatable, well-governed infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities
- Infrastructure as Code & Delivery
- Build and maintain infrastructure as code (Terraform and/or Bicep) and reusable modules to provision Azure resources consistently across environments and sites.
- Build CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions and enforce GitOps workflows where changes flow through version control, pull requests, and peer review.
- Platform Engineering & Self-Service
- Build and iterate golden paths and self-service capabilities, with guardrails codified as policy to keep provisioning within security, cost, and tagging standards.
- Document platform capabilities so internal teams can consume them without one-to-one engineering support.
- Systems Configuration & Fleet Management
- Manage Linux and Windows configuration through automation—Ansible and SUSE Manager (or equivalent) for Linux; Microsoft Intune and/or Group Policy for Windows—rather than manual, host-by-host changes.
- Maintain baseline images and standards so new hosts, including field and edge compute, are provisioned in a known, compliant state.
- Operations, Security & Compliance
- Operate Azure landing zones and platform services within an Entra ID / Zero Trust model, with observability across monitoring, logging, alerting, and cost.
- Ensure changes flow through auditable pipelines supporting SOX ITGC, and apply NERC CIP-aligned controls where platform components support in-scope systems.
Requirements
- Platform engineering experience: internal developer platforms, golden paths, and self-service provisioning.
- Google Cloud Platform (GCP) experience; Azure remains the primary platform.
- SUSE Manager (or equivalent, such as Red Hat Satellite) and Microsoft Intune at scale.
- Policy-as-code (Azure Policy, Open Policy Agent) and secrets management (Azure Key Vault, HashiCorp Vault).
- Regulated-sector experience and familiarity with NIST CSF, ISO 27001, or NERC CIP.
- Certifications such as Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104), Azure DevOps Engineer Expert (AZ-400), or HashiCorp Terraform Associate.
Benefits & Perks
- Fervo offers a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your health, financial well-being, and life outside of work. Benefits for eligible employees include:
- Medical, dental, and vision plan options
- Employer-paid basic life insurance and short-term and long-term disability coverage
- A 401(k) plan with a dollar-for-dollar company match
- Flexible paid time off and paid parental leave
- Family-building, fertility, hormonal health, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting support through Carrot
- A dependent care FSA for eligible child and elder care expenses
- An annual Lifestyle Spending Account for eligible wellness expenses, including fitness, financial planning, pet insurance, and pet care
- Employee ownership opportunities through Fervo’s Employee Stock Purchase Program, as well as stock option grants and bonus opportunities for eligible roles
- Benefits and programs are subject to eligibility requirements and may change.
