Senior Cloud Engineer

Are you a multi-faceted engineer passionate about cloud architecture, DevOps, network security, and site reliability?

A fast-growing tech innovator in Japan developing cutting-edge AI and hardware technologies is looking for a Senior Cloud & IT Infrastructure Engineer to drive the next generation of scalable, secure infrastructure.

• Network & Endpoint Security: Oversee L2/L3 networking, VPNs, firewalls, and EDR/SIEM tools. Ensure compliance readiness, device management, and security policy enforcement.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Serve as a bridge across global teams, providing technical support, updating security workflows, and maintaining clear documentation.

Requirements

• Cloud & Linux Experience: 3+ years of hands-on experience in cloud operation/maintenance (AWS, Kubernetes) and core Linux server administration.
• Networking & Security: Solid understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, VPNs, firewalls, and core enterprise network security concepts.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Proven ability to read, maintain, and modify IaC scripts (Terraform, Ansible).
• Language Proficiency: Fluent/Professional Japanese and Business-level English for cross-functional global collaboration.
• Problem-Solving & Mindset: Strong troubleshooting skills, proactive communication, and a habit of thorough documentation.

Nice-to-Have

• Automation scripting skills (Python, Bash).
• Industry certifications (AWS Certified, CCNA/CCNP, CISSP, CompTIA Security+).

Benefits

• Location: Hybrid working style (Choice of Tokyo or Osaka office; remote work options).
• Flexibility: Flextime schedule with core hours / flex working windows.
• Growth & Learning: Annual subsidies for books, courses, and certifications.
• Benefits: Housing allowance, child allowances, full health/pension coverage, and commuter allowance.
