Job Summary: We are seeking an experienced AWS Cloud Engineer to design, build, and operate large-scale, secure, and highly available cloud platforms on Amazon Web Services. This is a deeply hands-on engineering role spanning architecture, infrastructure-as-code, automation, security, observability, and continuous operational improvement of mission-critical production workloads. The successful candidate will bring strong working knowledge of the AWS service portfolio, deep DevOps fundamentals, and a pragmatic, cost-aware design mindset, and will partner with application, security, and SRE teams to deliver resilient, cloud-native solutions that scale with the business.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, deploy, and operate enterprise-grade AWS environments across compute, networking, storage, identity, and managed data services, with strong attention to scalability, reliability, and security
• Author and maintain production-quality infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or AWS CDK, with rigorous version control, peer review, and automated validation
• Design multi-account AWS organizations, including landing zones, SCPs, centralized logging, and shared services, to support secure and scalable enterprise adoption
• Build secure VPC topologies — including subnetting, route tables, transit gateways, VPN, and Direct Connect integrations — that meet enterprise connectivity and isolation requirements
• Implement strong IAM strategies using roles, permission boundaries, SCPs, AWS SSO, and short-lived credentials to enforce least-privilege access across the organization
• Design, deploy, and operate Amazon EKS clusters and other container platforms (ECS, Fargate), including auto-scaling, networking, and integration with service meshes and observability stacks
• Operate AWS managed data and analytics services such as RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, S3, Redshift, Glue, and Kinesis, optimizing each for the access patterns and SLAs of the workloads it supports
• Build and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines using AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI, enabling repeatable, audited deployments of both infrastructure and applications
• Implement comprehensive observability using CloudWatch, X-Ray, AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, and third-party tooling, with well-designed dashboards, alerts, and SLOs
• Drive ongoing cost optimization through right-sizing, savings plans, reserved instances, lifecycle policies, and architectural simplification, with measurable savings tracked over time
• Implement disaster-recovery and business-continuity capabilities, including cross-region replication, automated backups, regular failover testing, and documented runbooks
• Strengthen security posture using AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, Macie, Inspector, Config, and CloudTrail, and lead remediation of findings in collaboration with security teams
• Advise application development teams on AWS-native design patterns, anti-patterns, and the appropriate service choices for each problem domain
• Develop automation scripts and operational tooling in Python, Bash, and Go to streamline routine work and accelerate incident response
• Mentor junior engineers, lead architecture and design reviews, and contribute thought leadership to the broader cloud community within the organization

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline
• Five or more years of cloud engineering experience, with at least three years focused on AWS in production environments
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS core services, including EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, RDS, Lambda, CloudFront, and CloudFormation
