Cloud Platform Engineer - Contract

Role Overview The Cloud Platform Engineer will design, build, and operate the cloud foundation for a Smart City initiative that integrates OT, IoT, analytics, AI, and application workloads. The role focuses on end-to-end platform engineering, including landing zone design, infrastructure-as-code provisioning, CI/CD implementation, cloud security, data platform setup, and production operations. The ideal candidate should have strong hands-on experience in Terraform, cloud platform services, CI/CD pipeline ownership, IAM/RBAC, secrets management, Docker, Kubernetes , monitoring, logging, alerting, and operational runbooks. The candidate will work closely with software, data, and OT integration engineers to ensure secure, scalable, and reliable delivery across the platform. Key Responsibilities • Provisioning cloud environments using Terraform • Managing cloud-native services • Implementing secure access controls • Designing network segmentation • Enabling OT/IoT telemetry ingestion • Supporting database and storage services • Building observability capabilities • Automating operational tasks • Enforcing governance through policy-as-code Qualifications • Terraform / Infrastructure as Code — hands-on production experience with modules, state management, and automated provisioning. • Cloud Platform Engineering — strong hands-on experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP cloud services in production environments. • DevSecOps / CI/CD — experience building and owning CI/CD pipelines with embedded security checks and automated validation. • 3–8 years in cloud platform, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering roles, with clear ownership of production environments. • Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Systems Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. • Demonstrable portfolio: IaC repositories, pipeline configurations, architecture diagrams, or reference environments welcomed. • Cloud certifications (AWS Solutions Architect, CKA, HashiCorp Terraform Associate, or equivalent) are a plus but do not substitute for hands-on delivery evidence. Good to Have / Optional Skills • OT/IoT telemetry platform experience or real-time data ingestion from field devices. • Singapore government cloud familiarity such as GCC 2.0, IM8, or equivalent compliance frameworks. • Smart City, critical infrastructure, or industrial platform deployment exposure. • Data platform and analytics experience including data lakes, streaming pipelines, or BI infrastructure. • Policy-as-code experience using OPA, Sentinel, or similar frameworks.
