Your first month is shadowing two active engagements and reviewing the module library; your second month is owning a workstream on a new engagement alongside a senior. From month three onward you scope and deliver work as the senior on the engagement - and help bring on and grow the engineers working with you.
The work is mostly Terraform - module design, state migrations, GitOps workflows - with regular detours into Kubernetes, FinOps audits, and architecture reviews. The bias is depth over breadth: we'd rather you be excellent across AWS and competent on GCP than mediocre across all three clouds.
We back talent development with a real budget for training and certification (AWS, GCP, Azure, Terraform, FinOps) and close ties to universities we recruit from. Compensation is a market-rate base plus a percentage of engagement margin, with room to grow as the company does.
