You will be responsible for creating comprehensive design documentation, executing complex infrastructure projects, and continuously optimizing workloads for maximum cost efficiency and resilience. At least one active AWS Certification is strictly required for this role, coupled with solid, verifiable hands-on engineering experience.
Key Responsibilities
Architecture & Design Documentation: Author detailed technical design documents, architectural diagrams, and infrastructure roadmaps for complex projects.
Infrastructure Project Planning: Plan, lead, and execute end-to-end cloud infrastructure projects, ensuring seamless migrations, upgrades, and deployments.
Cloud Security & Compliance: Architect and enforce rigid security frameworks, implementing advanced IAM policies, WAF configurations, network isolation, and proactive threat mitigation.
Cost & Performance Optimization: Audit existing cloud environments to identify bottlenecks and cost inefficiencies, implementing structural optimizations to maximize ROI and performance.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Drive automation by building and maintaining scalable environments using CloudFormation or Terraform.
Advanced Networking & Systems Engineering: Oversee complex AWS networking topologies (VPC, routing, DNS, security boundaries) and ensure high-performing Linux OS configurations.
Disaster Recovery & High Availability: Design and validate comprehensive backup, multi-region disaster recovery, and high-availability strategies.
Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner closely with technical development, application, and leadership teams to ensure infrastructure aligns perfectly with engineering requirements.
