Cloud Platform Engineer - Golang & IaC

Meet the Team
Splunk's CSP (Cloud Service Provider) Platform team builds the infrastructure services and automation that help power Splunk Cloud at scale. We create the platform capabilities that manage cloud accounts, support infrastructure changes safely, and improve how cloud environments are provisioned and operated across AWS, GCP, and Azure. Our team combines software engineering and infrastructure expertise, with engineers who build Golang microservices, automate workflows with Terraform, and partner closely with platform and service teams across the business. The environment is collaborative, fast-moving, and focused on solving real infrastructure challenges through automation and thoughtful engineering. This is an exciting opportunity for an engineer who wants to deepen their cloud and platform experience while working on systems that are foundational to the reliability and growth of Splunk Cloud.
