Role Description

We’re looking for an Infrastructure Engineer with a focus on cost optimization and data migration to join our global organization. This role combines infrastructure engineering, cloud cost efficiency, and application-layer development expertise. You’ll design and execute cluster migrations, evaluate risk, and streamline cloud infrastructure for scalability and savings — while actively contributing to and modifying existing applications to support infrastructure and performance goals. If you thrive in complex environments, love optimizing performance and costs, and enjoy building automation with real code, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

• Analyze and implement cost-saving strategies across compute, storage, and network usage
• Lead infrastructure and data migration projects across AWS and GCP environments
• Conduct risk assessments on infrastructure changes, data migrations, and cost-optimization initiatives
• Develop and refine infrastructure tools in Go, Java, or PHP to support migrations and enhance the reliability and efficiency of existing systems
• Design, maintain, migrate, and optimize databases and caching layers using SQL, RDS, Elasticache, DynamoDB, MongoDB and Redis
• Collaborate with DevOps and application teams to ensure smooth, secure deployment pipelines
• Work with infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD workflows for deployment and scaling
• Monitor system performance and provide actionable insights for optimization
• Participate in architectural reviews, incident analysis, and cross-team technical planning

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering, DevOps, or backend systems development
• Proficiency in Java, PHP, and Go with strong development and scripting skills
• Strong knowledge of SQL databases and Redis data storage systems
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, Datadog, etc.)
• Hands-on experience with AWS and GCP cloud environments
• Solid understanding of cost modeling, resource utilization, and billing optimization in multi-cloud setups
• Proficient with Git-based workflows and modern CI/CD systems
• Experience with containerization, orchestration, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible, Cloudformation or equivalent)
• Ability to assess and mitigate risk in infrastructure and deployment scenarios
• Strong analytical mindset, attention to detail, and ability to communicate complex topics clearly
• Strong English proficiency and ability to collaborate in a global team
