## About the role

We're looking for a Cloud Platform Engineer to own the internal IT infrastructure Mercor runs on — and to run it as code. You'll design and operate the platform layer beneath our identity, cloud, and SaaS systems: Okta configuration managed in Terraform, cloud IAM and account structure defined declaratively, and employee lifecycle provisioning automated end to end. You'll also own identity planning as we scale from hundreds to thousands of employees.

## What they're looking for

- Hands-on production experience with Terraform, managing real infrastructure as code
- Production experience with Okta and SCIM integrations — ideally managed declaratively
- Strong skills with IAM roles and permissions across at least two major cloud platforms — AWS, GCP, or Azure — with Vercel a plus
- Proficiency in at least one programming language with demonstrated understanding of core coding principles
- Experience building automated workflows across systems via APIs
- Strong incident management skills: triage, root-cause analysis, and systems thinking
