AWS CloudOps Engineer

Job Description – AWS Cloud DevOps / CloudOps Engineer

About the Role

Creyente Infotech is hiring an experienced AWS CloudOps Engineer to design, operate, automate, and continuously improve cloud infrastructure supporting mission-critical financial systems.

This role is ideal for an engineer with strong hands-on experience in both cloud devops and cloud operations. The engineer will be responsible for managing scalable AWS environments, automating routine operational tasks, improving production reliability, implementing monitoring and alerting frameworks, supporting incident response, and ensuring operational readiness for production workloads.

The role requires a strong understanding of AWS cloud services, Infrastructure as Code, automation, networking, security, disaster recovery, observability, and cost optimization across cloud and hybrid environments.

Key Responsibilities:

Cloud Engineering & Operations

* Design, deploy, configure, and manage scalable AWS cloud environments.

* Operate and support AWS services including **EC2, ECS/Fargate, RDS, S3, IAM, VPC, Lambda, CloudWatch, Route 53, Load Balancers, Auto Scaling, and Security Groups**.

* Manage cloud infrastructure across production, staging, development, and disaster recovery environments.

* Support hybrid infrastructure involving AWS cloud and on-premises systems.

* Ensure cloud platforms are secure, reliable, highly available, and operationally efficient.

* Perform regular health checks, capacity reviews, patching, upgrades, and environment maintenance.

CloudOps, Production Support & Operational Readiness

* Own operational readiness for production cloud environments.

* Define and implement production support processes, runbooks, SOPs, and escalation procedures.

* Configure alarms, alerts, dashboards, and operational metrics for production workloads.

* Monitor system availability, performance, errors, capacity, latency, and infrastructure health.

Automation & Infrastructure as Code

* Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code using **Terraform**, CloudFormation, or similar tools.

* Automate routine cloud operations such as provisioning, deployments, patching, scaling, backups, monitoring, and reporting.

* Develop reusable infrastructure templates, scripts, and automation workflows.

* Use scripting languages such as **Python, Shell, or PowerShell** to automate operational tasks.

* Improve deployment pipelines and operational efficiency through automation.

* Work with engineering teams to standardize cloud environments and reduce manual effort.

Monitoring, Observability & Alerting

* Build and enhance monitoring and observability frameworks for cloud infrastructure and applications.

* Configure dashboards, alerts, logs, metrics, and traces using tools such as **Amazon CloudWatch, Grafana, Prometheus, ELK/OpenSearch, or Splunk**.

* Define meaningful production alerts to detect availability, performance, security, and capacity issues.

* Reduce alert noise and improve alert quality through tuning and threshold optimization.

* Implement logging and monitoring best practices for critical production systems.

* Provide visibility into infrastructure performance, application health, and operational risks.

Incident Management & Problem Resolution

* Respond to infrastructure, application, and cloud platform incidents.

* Troubleshoot issues related to compute, networking, storage, databases, IAM, containers, and monitoring.

* Perform root cause analysis and implement preventive actions.

* Improve system reliability by identifying recurring issues and automating remediation.

* Collaborate with application, security, database, and infrastructure teams during incident resolution.

* Maintain incident documentation, post-incident reports, and improvement plans.

Disaster Recovery, Backup & Resilience

* Support disaster recovery planning, implementation, and testing.

* Configure and validate backup, restore, failover, and recovery procedures.

* Define and support RTO/RPO requirements for business-critical systems.

* Implement high-availability and fault-tolerant architecture patterns.

* Participate in DR drills and ensure cloud environments are ready for recovery scenarios.

* Support system hardening, resilience testing, and operational risk reduction.

Cloud Cost Optimization & Governance

* Monitor and optimize AWS cloud costs across co…
