AWS Cloud Engineer

Requirements

• Designs, Maintains, And Optimizes Hybrid Platforms That Bridge On‑premises Infrastructure With AWS Cloud Services, Aligning With The Shift Toward Cloud‑centric Operations
• Designing and administering AWS environments (EC2, VPC, IAM, S3) to support enterprise workloads.
• Creating hybrid workload patterns where identity, authentication, and application services function seamlessly across cloud and on‑premises systems.
• Migrating legacy systems to AWS, including developing modernization roadmaps and workload readiness assessments.
• Documenting system architectures and producing AWS architecture diagrams showing network topology, dependencies, and service interactions.
• Provides senior‑tier support for issues escalated from Service Desk, Applications, Networking, or automation teams
• Diagnosing complex AWS identity, network, or compute issues affecting dependent applications.
• Documenting troubleshooting workflows, root causes, and long‑term mitigation strategies.
• Guiding teams through hybrid dependency failures such as directory sync disruptions, routing conflicts, or misconfigured IAM policies.
• Ensures platform resilience by monitoring, optimizing, and maintaining cloud and on‑prem compute, storage, networking, and identity components
• Eliminate single points of failure in designs patterns
• Provide backup, recovery, and DR to meet all RTO/RPO requirements.
• Implementing performance dashboards covering compute utilization, storage I/O, and network throughput across AWS and on‑prem.
• Conducting root‑cause analysis for performance issues and documenting remediation steps.
• Identifying cost optimization opportunities through instance rightsizing, storage tier adjustments, and lifecycle automation.
• Maintaining architecture diagrams, standards, IaC manifests, and operational procedures in version‑controlled environments.
• Preparing change impact statements for major infrastructure modifications.
• Creating release documentation for platform updates promoted through CI/CD pipelines.
• Ensuring consistency across platform standards, enforcement rules, and automation artifacts.
• Works closely with automation specialist and other team members to ensure infrastructure deployments follow consistent, automated, and auditable patterns
• Defining IaC patterns and collaborating on Terraform module designs.
• Documenting provisioning workflows, configuration standards, and parameter usage for automated deployments.
• Supporting CI/CD infrastructure pipelines that promote test, staging, and production environments through automated checks.
• Collaborate with engineering and application teams to optimize workloads for hybrid cloud environments.
• Provide guidance on migration strategies, performance tuning, and cost optimization for hybrid-cloud deployments.
• Maintain comprehensive documentation for hybrid cloud architecture, operational procedures, and automation workflows.
• Supports organizational security and compliance goals by implementing and documenting platform controls across cloud and on‑prem environments.
• Enforcing AWS guardrails such as encryption, MFA, IAM role boundaries, and network segmentation.
• Producing audit evidence packages (configuration exports, pipeline logs, screenshots).
• Documenting platform hardening guidelines for compute, identity, and storage systems.
• Creating policy interpretation guides to clarify required platform configurations for other technical teams.
• Writing operational guides, onboarding materials, and “how‑to” documentation for AWS and hybrid operations.
• Delivering platform standards, architecture reference materials, and annotated diagrams explaining system interactions.
• Producing executive‑level briefings summarizing modernization progress and platform initiatives.
