Remote AWS CloudFormation Expert
Shape the Future of Cloud Infrastructure—From Anywhere
What does it feel like to have your work automate, orchestrate, and secure everything beneath an ambitious cloud platform? Imagine knowing that every line of code you write for AWS CloudFormation not only defines an environment but also empowers teams to build, launch, and scale rapidly, regardless of their location. That’s the energy we channel every day. You’ll architect and streamline infrastructure-as-code for global deployments, helping organizations leap beyond manual provisioning and reach absolute DevOps velocity.
Why This Role Matters
The world is moving fast toward automated, reproducible, and secure infrastructure. Your mastery of AWS CloudFormation will help drive digital transformation by making cloud environments predictable, scalable, and safe for innovation. Here, your blueprints aren’t just templates—they’re foundations for growth. As remote work becomes the new standard, you’ll be the force enabling teams to collaborate asynchronously, ship new features confidently, and recover instantly from setbacks.
Your Mission and Impact
You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with architects, engineers, and product visionaries—all remotely—to deliver automated infrastructure at scale. From translating high-level ideas into elegant YAML templates to guiding teams through secure cloud migrations, every decision you make unlocks new possibilities. The way you codify cloud resources will have a ripple effect across projects, affecting reliability, cost efficiency, and innovation. Want to see your ideas adopted by 10 or 10,000 users? This is your platform.
What You’ll Tackle
- Transform infrastructure needs into robust, reusable AWS CloudFormation templates.
- Automate complex multi-account setups with granular IAM permissions, VPCs, and application stacks
- Collaborate with product and security specialists to bake compliance into every deployment pipeline.
- Spot bottlenecks before they impact end users and proactively architect solutions—think autoscaling, zero-downtime updates, and instant rollbacks
- Lead technical workshops or async walkthroughs that make CloudFormation best practices accessible to every teammate.
- Use your insights to reduce manual work, accelerate releases, and elevate infrastructure standards organization-wide
Tools & Technologies You’ll Use
This isn’t just about YAML—though you’ll write some of the cleanest, most modular CloudFormation templates in the business. Expect to orchestrate CI/CD with CodePipeline, manage secrets in AWS Systems Manager, and leverage AWS Lambda for event-driven automation. You’ll work closely with tools like GitHub Actions, Terraform (for hybrid workflows), and security automation stacks. Experience with DevOps culture and infrastructure-as-code tools is crucial—your work sits at the intersection of engineering, automation, and tangible business outcomes.
What Sets You Apart
- You translate technical requirements into actionable CloudFormation blueprints, whether it’s building for startups or scaling established SaaS platforms.
- You simplify complex ideas—whether it’s over Zoom, Slack, or during a collaborative async review.
- You know the cost levers of AWS inside-out and optimize for performance, security, and spend
- You partner with design, engineering, and support to build unified solutions that align with agile workflows.
- You’re obsessed with automation: from drift detection to policy enforcement, your setups “just work.”
- You stay ahead of AWS updates, always ready to pilot the latest services and integrate what’s useful.
What Success Looks Like Here
In your first 30 days, you’ll audit existing infrastructure and propose enhancements that accelerate deployments and reduce maintenance. By month three, your templates will have become the gold standard—modular, well-documented, and production-ready. You’ll own complex rollouts, mentor peers, and empower every team to build safely, quickly, and with confidence. Your solutions will unlock new products, delight engineers, and prove the power of infrastructure-as-code done right.
Work Environment & Collaboration
Remote isn’t an afterthought—it’s how we operate and innovate. Our cloud-native workflow combines Slack huddles, Notion documents, and video calls with dedicated focus time. You’ll have autonomy and trust, plus the support of teammates who value transparency and clear communication. We move quickly, but you’ll always have space to focus intensely. Regardless of your time zone, your impact will be felt globally.
Growth, Learning, and Rewards
This role offers an annual salary of $110,000—and your contributions will drive outcomes that are valued far beyond numbers. You’ll access AWS certifications, attend world-class conferences (virtually or in person), and collaborate with leaders who will expand your horizons. We encourage experimentation, learning, and sharing—so you’ll never feel stuck or stagnant. Every milestone you achieve will be celebrated by a team that understands the significance of infrastructure mastery.
Are You Ready to Build the Next Era?
Curiosity, ambition, and accountability define the people who thrive here. If you want your CloudFormation expertise to empower organizations, spark new features, and give teams the confidence to experiment, we want to meet you. Let’s build cloud foundations that outlast trends—and make automation the rule, not the exception.
If you’re ready to shape cloud infrastructure from anywhere and see your work have an instant, lasting impact, let’s start a conversation. The next wave of innovation starts with you.
