AWS Cloud Engineer

As an AWS Cloud Engineer at our company based in Kerala, you will play a crucial role in designing, implementing, and maintaining scalable, secure, and highly available infrastructure solutions on AWS. Your primary responsibility will be to collaborate closely with developers, DevOps engineers, and security teams to support cloud-native applications and business services. Your key responsibilities will include designing, deploying, and maintaining cloud infrastructure using various AWS services such as EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, and VPC. Additionally, you will be tasked with building and managing CI/CD pipelines, automating infrastructure provisioning using tools like Terraform or AWS CloudFormation, and monitoring and optimizing cloud resources through CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and other third-party tools. Furthermore, you will be responsible for managing user permissions and security policies using IAM, ensuring compliance, implementing backup and disaster recovery plans, troubleshooting infrastructure issues, and responding to incidents promptly. It is essential that you stay updated with AWS best practices and new service releases to enhance our overall cloud infrastructure. To be successful in this role, you should possess a minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience with AWS cloud services, a solid understanding of networking, security, and Linux system administration, as well as experience with DevOps practices and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python and Bash, familiarity with containerization tools like Docker and Kubernetes (EKS preferred), and holding an AWS Certification (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect Associate or higher) would be advantageous. It would be considered a plus if you have experience with multi-account AWS environments, exposure to serverless architecture (Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions), familiarity with cost optimization, and the Well-Architected Framework. Any previous experience in a fast-paced startup or SaaS environment would also be beneficial. Your expertise in AWS CloudFormation, Kubernetes (EKS), AWS services (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, VPC), cloudtrail, cloud, scripting (Python, Bash), CI/CD pipelines, CloudWatch, Docker, IAM, Terraform, and other cloud services will be invaluable in fulfilling the responsibilities of this role effectively.,
