JOB OVERVIEW
We’re hiring a hands-on AWS Engineer to help build, automate, and support a modern cloud platform as part of a major AWS migration program. This role is for a senior engineer who can provision AWS infrastructure with IaC and jump into production troubleshooting, log/metrics review, and root-cause analysis alongside application and architecture teams.
Important: “Lead” here means seniority/experience—it’s not a people-management role.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Provision and automate AWS infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and policy-as-code practices
- Provide production support: incident troubleshooting, log analysis, metrics review, and root-cause analysis (RCA)
- Partner with application teams and architects to diagnose issues and stabilize workloads in production
- Support ongoing on-prem to AWS migration, including containerized/EKS-based environments
- Troubleshoot AWS networking/connectivity, security, and performance bottlenecks
- Improve reliability and scalability using automation and SRE-style operational best practices
- Support monitoring, upgrades/patching, capacity planning, and continuous platform improvements
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 10+ years overall IT experience (senior/lead-level background)
- 5+ years recent, hands-on AWS platform engineering/admin experience
- AWS must have been your primary focus for the last 5 years
- Strong experience provisioning AWS resources and supporting production environments
- Proven ability to troubleshoot outages and perform RCA, including where/what to check in logs
- Terraform (1+ year minimum) provisioning AWS infrastructure
- Strong automation/scripting experience (including Bash)
- Linux administration experience
- Python automation experience (Lambda/Boto3 preferred)
- Hands-on AWS experience with (at minimum): EC2 (required), VPC, subnets, IAM, security groups, S3, CloudWatch
- At least one current AWS certification
- Strong communication and cross-team collaboration skills
NICE TO HAVE
- Kubernetes / containers, especially AWS EKS
- SRE experience
- CI/CD and DevOps tooling (Jenkins, Git/Bitbucket, Artifactory, Ansible, etc.)
- CloudFormation and/or AWS CDK
- Database troubleshooting experience
- Exposure to AWS AI/ML services (Bedrock, SageMaker, Kendra, RAG solutions) — helpful for some project assignments
