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 as an Infrastructure Project Manager
Translate your credentials for PERM requirements
PERM filings require your education and experience to map precisely to the job's minimum requirements. If your engineering degree is from outside the U.S., get a credential evaluation that confirms equivalency to a U.S. bachelor's or master's degree before employers begin the recruitment process.
Target employers with active infrastructure contracts
Firms holding multi-year federal or state infrastructure contracts have a structural reason to sponsor green cards rather than lose a key project manager mid-contract. Look for employers with active DOT, Army Corps of Engineers, or municipal utility projects, where continuity of leadership directly affects contract performance.
Search green card sponsors using Migrate Mate
Filter for Infrastructure Project Manager roles at employers with documented EB-2 and EB-3 filing history using Migrate Mate. This narrows your search to companies that have already run PERM processes for this occupation, not just those that say they're open to sponsorship.
Clarify the PERM job description before signing
The PERM application locks in the job title, duties, and minimum requirements, and you must continue performing that role throughout the green card process. Before accepting an offer, confirm the described duties match your actual work scope so USCIS doesn't flag a material change during adjudication.
Understand EB-2 versus EB-3 placement for your background
EB-2 applies if the role requires a master's degree or you hold a bachelor's plus five years of progressive experience in infrastructure project management. EB-3 covers bachelor's-level roles. Your category affects priority date wait times, so clarify with your employer which petition they intend to file.
Check prevailing wage before negotiating your offer
DOL sets the prevailing wage for your role using the OFLC Wage Search, and your employer must pay at least that amount throughout the PERM and green card process. If the offered salary falls below the prevailing wage for your job zone and location, the PERM filing will be denied.
Green Card Infrastructure Project Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Infrastructure Project Manager qualify as a specialty occupation for green card sponsorship?
Yes. Infrastructure Project Manager roles typically qualify under EB-2 or EB-3 because they require at minimum a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, construction management, or a related field. PERM filings for this occupation must document that the minimum requirements are tied to the actual duties, not inflated to exclude U.S. workers. Roles that genuinely require a master's degree or equivalent experience can qualify at the EB-2 level.
How does the green card process differ from H-1B sponsorship for this role?
H-1B visa is a temporary work visa with an annual lottery cap and a six-year maximum stay. The EB-2 and EB-3 green card paths are permanent, with no lottery and no cap at the EB-3 level for most nationalities outside India and China. The PERM labor certification adds time upfront, but approval leads to lawful permanent residency rather than repeated renewal cycles. For Infrastructure Project Manager roles, many employers prefer green card sponsorship for long-tenured hires.
How long does the PERM and I-140 process take for infrastructure roles?
The PERM labor certification typically takes six to twelve months, including the mandatory DOL recruitment period and agency review. After PERM approval, the I-140 petition follows, with standard processing running several months and premium processing available to speed adjudication. For most nationalities, you can file to adjust status concurrent with or shortly after I-140 approval. Indian and Chinese nationals face priority date backlogs at the EB-2 and EB-3 levels that can extend the wait significantly.
What documentation should I prepare before an employer starts my PERM filing?
Gather official transcripts or a foreign credential evaluation, a detailed employment history showing progressive project management experience, reference letters from past supervisors that confirm your infrastructure-specific duties, and any professional certifications such as PMP or PE licensure. PERM requires your background to exactly satisfy the job's stated minimum requirements, so any gap between your credentials and the job description creates grounds for a DOL audit or denial.
How do I find Infrastructure Project Manager jobs where employers are already open to green card sponsorship?
Use Migrate Mate to search Infrastructure Project Manager roles filtered by employers with verified EB-2 and EB-3 filing history. This removes the guesswork of asking employers whether they sponsor, since you're targeting companies that have already completed PERM processes for comparable roles. Construction, utilities, and transportation engineering firms are the most active sponsors in this occupation category.
