How to Apply for Senior Cloud & AI Engineer

at Prologis Management

🏢 About Prologis Management

Prologis is the global leader in logistics real estate, with a strong commitment to sustainability and innovation. They are at the forefront of modernizing supply chains through technology, making them an ideal place for engineers who want to build scalable, impactful solutions in a mission-driven environment.

About This Role

As a Senior Cloud & AI Engineer, you will redesign high-friction operational workflows using AI, automation, and platform engineering. Your work will directly enable self-service infrastructure and agentic workflows, reducing toil and accelerating delivery across a massive global portfolio.

💡 A Day in the Life

You'll start by reviewing operational metrics and identifying high-friction workflows with stakeholders. Then you'll design and implement agentic workflows using Python and Terraform, deploying self-service infrastructure modules. Afternoons might involve code reviews, collaborating with platform engineers, and testing automated remediation scripts in a sandbox environment.

🎯 Who Prologis Management Is Looking For

  • Deep hands-on experience with AWS (EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3, DynamoDB, IAM) and Azure, with the ability to architect cloud-native solutions.
  • Expert in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform (preferred) or CloudFormation, and passionate about building reusable, golden path modules.
  • Strong programming skills in Python (preferred) plus Bash/PowerShell, with a track record of building automation and event-driven workflows.
  • Proven experience designing or building AI-assisted or agentic workflows for engineering or operational use cases, such as automated remediation or support deflection.

📝 Tips for Applying to Prologis Management

1

Highlight specific examples of AI/agentic workflows you've built, e.g., automated incident response or self-healing infrastructure.

2

Quantify impact: mention how your automation reduced manual effort by X% or improved deployment frequency.

3

Showcase Terraform expertise: include links to public modules or describe how you designed reusable infrastructure components.

4

Tailor your resume to mention AWS and Azure services explicitly, matching the job description (EC2, Lambda, RDS, etc.).

5

Demonstrate platform engineering mindset: talk about golden paths, self-service portals, or internal developer platforms you've contributed to.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your passion for reducing operational friction through AI and automation, with concrete examples.', 'How your experience with Terraform and cloud platforms aligns with building standardized, reusable infrastructure.', "Your understanding of Prologis's mission in logistics real estate and how technology drives sustainability and efficiency.", 'Your ability to work cross-functionally to identify high-friction workflows and redesign them with engineering patterns.']

🔍 Research Before Applying

To stand out, make sure you've researched:

  • Understand Prologis's sustainability goals and how technology plays a role in reducing their carbon footprint.
  • Explore their recent innovations in logistics real estate, such as smart buildings or IoT integration.
  • Read about their platform engineering or internal developer portal initiatives (e.g., any public talks or blog posts).
  • Familiarize yourself with the scale of their portfolio (e.g., number of properties, global footprint) to appreciate the impact of automation.

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

1 Design an agentic workflow for automated remediation of a common cloud incident (e.g., EC2 instance failure).
2 How would you build a self-service infrastructure capability for developers using Terraform modules and golden paths?
3 Describe a time you identified a high-friction operational process and redesigned it with automation; what was the outcome?
4 Explain your experience with event-driven architectures on AWS (e.g., Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge) for operational workflows.
5 How do you ensure security and compliance when building AI-assisted workflows that interact with production infrastructure?

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Submitting a generic resume that doesn't highlight AI/agentic workflows or specific cloud experience.
  • Overlooking the 'platform engineering' aspect: focus only on scripting without mentioning reusable components or golden paths.
  • Failing to demonstrate hands-on Terraform experience: avoid vague claims; provide examples or code links.
