The ideal candidate combines system engineering and software development skills, can support enterprise-scale cloud environments, build compliant OS images, automate processes using Python, and troubleshoot infrastructure issues across AWS platforms.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
Must have:
- AWS
- Linux Administration
- Python Automation
- Ansible
- Python API Integration
- Infrastructure Engineering
- AMI / Image Management, Image building
Job Family Description:
- Significant experience in both Systems Engineering and Software development
- Proficient in at least one of the infrastructure disciplines and functions:
- Internals of distributed Operating System (Unix/Linux, Windows, Z/OS) internals
- Systems programming
- Network programming
- Experience in large scale software development in one or more of the programming languages (C, C++, Perl, Python, Java, C#, .NET)

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Public Cloud Infrastructure team is looking for a strong candidate to join them in producing Virtual Machine Images and orchestrating distribution to thousands of subscribers in Public Clouds.
The role:
We build the automated platform that produces hardened, compliance-tested operating system images (AWS AMIs) for a large enterprise cloud estate. Every image our internal teams launch — across RHEL, Windows, macOS, and Amazon Linux — is created, customized, security-tested, and distributed by the systems this team owns, spanning multiple AWS regions and multiple environments. We maintain hundreds of image definitions and customization packages, including ARM/x86, GPU, and Kubernetes (EKS/ECS) node variants.
As a cloud infrastructure senior engineer, you'll set technical direction across two connected sides of the platform:
- Platform / Infrastructure — event-driven build pipelines using AWS Step Functions and Lambda, defined as Infrastructure as Code in CloudFormation, orchestrating the full image lifecycle from import through customization, testing, distribution, and decommissioning.
- Image customization & operations — the reusable packages, Ansible provisioning scripts, and compliance tests that define each image, delivered through a PR-driven, automated release pipeline.
What you'll do:
- Own and evolve serverless, event-driven build automation (Step Functions, Lambda, SNS, S3, EC2) that customizes machine images at scale.
- Lead Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation) that deploys consistently across many regions and accounts.
- Build and harden OS images for RHEL, Windows, macOS, and Amazon Linux, including GPU, ARM64, and Kubernetes node variants, to strict security and compliance standards.
- Raise the bar on code quality, test coverage, and CI/CD health; mentor engineers and lead technical reviews.
- Partner with OS engineering and consuming application teams to keep the image catalog secure, current, and reliable.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 7+ years in infrastructure, platform, or cloud engineering, with strong hands-on AWS experience (EC2/AMIs, Lambda, Step Functions, CloudFormation, IAM, S3, SNS).
- Custom VM Image building skills.
- Google and Azure experience is a plus.
- Hands-on experience in creating complex AI skills, agents.
- Strong Python and a solid automated-testing discipline.
- Proven ownership of production Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD pipelines, ideally multi-region/multi-account.
- Linux and/or Windows administration and OS hardening experience; macOS a plus.
- Configuration management (Ansible) and compliance-as-code testing (InSpec) strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated technical leadership and mentoring.
WHY JOIN
This is platform engineering with real reach: thousands of workloads boot from the images this team produces. You'll build both the automation and the product it delivers, and ship to production on a regular cadence.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Infrastructure And Operations
Document your technical stack for PERM
PERM job requirements must match your actual background. List every technology, platform, and certification you use daily so your employer can write requirements you satisfy without appearing tailored to you, which triggers DOL audits.
Distinguish EB-2 from EB-3 eligibility early
Infrastructure roles with a strict advanced-degree requirement qualify for EB-2. Roles requiring a bachelor's degree plus two years of experience typically land in EB-3. Your job description wording, not your credentials alone, determines the category.
Search employers with active PERM filing history
Use Migrate Mate to filter infrastructure and operations roles by employers who have completed PERM filings for similar positions. Past sponsorship activity is the most reliable signal that a hiring team will sponsor again.
Target employers already enrolled in E-Verify
PERM-sponsoring employers must be able to verify your work authorization after green card approval. Companies already using E-Verify have cleared the infrastructure for this step, which reduces delays when your I-485 or immigrant visa is approved.
Time your job offer around prevailing wage levels
PERM requires your offered salary to meet the DOL prevailing wage for your specific job zone and location. Look up your role's wage level using the OFLC Wage Search before negotiating an offer so you can confirm the employer's range qualifies.
Understand the I-140 to I-485 filing gap
After your employer's I-140 is approved by USCIS, you can only file the I-485 adjustment of status when your priority date is current. For infrastructure roles filed under EB-3, applicants born in India or China face multi-year waits at this stage.
Green Card Infrastructure And Operations: Frequently Asked Questions
Do infrastructure and operations roles qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Both categories apply depending on how the role is defined. Network engineers, cloud architects, and systems engineers whose positions require a master's degree or an advanced specialty can qualify under EB-2. Roles requiring a bachelor's degree and at least two years of experience typically qualify under EB-3. The PERM job description, not just your credentials, determines which category your employer files under.
How does the PERM green card process differ from H-1B sponsorship for infrastructure roles?
H-1B visa is a temporary nonimmigrant status with a three-year initial period and subject to annual lottery selection for most applicants. PERM-based green card sponsorship is permanent residency with no annual lottery at the EB-3 level, though priority date backlogs affect applicants born in India and China. PERM also requires the employer to conduct a formal domestic recruitment test and file a prevailing wage determination with DOL before petitioning USCIS.
How do I find employers who will sponsor a green card for infrastructure and operations positions?
Migrate Mate lets you search infrastructure and operations job listings filtered by employers with verified PERM and I-140 filing history, so you can prioritize roles where sponsorship is already established practice rather than something you'd need to negotiate from scratch.
Can my employer start PERM sponsorship while I'm on H-1B status?
Yes. Employers commonly begin PERM labor certification while you're working in H-1B status. Filing before your sixth H-1B year is particularly strategic because an approved I-140 petition allows H-1B extensions beyond the standard six-year cap under AC21 portability rules. Infrastructure roles with ongoing project continuity make this concurrent filing approach common at larger technology and enterprise employers.
What documentation should I prepare before an employer files PERM for an infrastructure role?
You'll need educational credentials evaluated by a NACES-member agency if your degree is from outside the U.S., employment verification letters covering any experience the PERM job description relies on, and copies of certifications relevant to the role such as AWS, Azure, or CISSP. USCIS and DOL both review whether your background genuinely meets the minimum requirements stated in the PERM application, and gaps or mismatches are a leading cause of RFEs and audits.
