Summary

As an AWS-focused Cloud Engineer, you are responsible for

designing, implementing, and operating secure, scalable,

and reliable AWS cloud environments within the cloud

landing zone and wider infrastructure ecosystem. You

provide technical leadership, ensure adherence to cloud

best practices, and collaborate with cross-functional teams

to optimize cloud operations, cost efficiency, and

compliance.

Roles & Responsibilities:

Design, build, and maintain AWS cloud environments

that meet organizational requirements for scalability,

performance, reliability, and security.

Architect AWS-based solutions using services such as

EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, RDS/Aurora, API Gateway, S3,

CloudFront, and advanced networking components.

Implement AWS security and compliance controls,

including IAM, SCPs, KMS, encryption, Secrets Manager,

CloudTrail, GuardDuty, and AWS Organizations

governance.

Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using

Terraform to enable automated, consistent, and

repeatable environment provisioning.

Optimize cloud performance and cost by applying best

practices for autoscaling, caching, right-sizing, tagging,

and cost monitoring using AWS Cost Explorer/Budgets.

Monitor, operate, and troubleshoot AWS workloads

using a centralized observability solution using the LGTM

stack.

Support containerized and serverless workloads,

including managing EKS clusters, ECS/Fargate

deployments, and Lambda-based architectures.

Lead incident response for cloud-related issues,

ensuring timely resolution and root-cause analysis.

Create and maintain accurate, up-to-date

documentation for architectures, operational

procedures, and cloud governance guidelines.

Collaborate with developers, architects, cybersecurity

teams, and product owners to enable cloud-native

solution delivery.

Professional & Technical Skills:

Expert-level knowledge of AWS and hands-on

experience with core and advanced services (compute,

networking, storage, IAM, container and serverless

services, CI/CD, and monitoring).

Strong proficiency in Infrastructure as Code, primarily

with Terraform/Terr grunt or Open Tofu

Scripting and automation experience in Python or Bash

for orchestration, tooling, and operational automation.

Deep understanding of AWS networking, including VPC

design, subnets, routing, NACLs, security groups,

VPN/Direct Connect, private/hybrid connectivity, and

network security patterns.

Cloud security expertise, including IAM design, least

privilege models, KMS, encryption strategies,

compliance requirements, and vulnerability

management on AWS.

Experience operating container platforms, such as

Amazon EKS or ECS, including cluster design,

networking, scaling, observability, and secure operation.

Knowledge of monitoring and observability tools,

preferably Prometheus/Grafana but also CloudWatch,

CloudTrail, X-Ray, or equivalent.

Solid troubleshooting and incident-management skills,

including analyzing logs, metrics, distributed systems,

and multi-service AWS environments.

Experience with CI/CD pipelines (preferably GitLab CI, or

AWS Code Pipeline/Code Build, GitHub Actions, or

similar).

Strong documentation and communication skills in

English.
