We are seeking a talented and motivated Cloud Engineer with hands-on experience in Amazon Web Services (AWS) to join our growing team. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of cloud infrastructure, architecture, and automation, and be able to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to design, implement, and manage scalable, secure, and cost-efficient solutions in the AWS cloud environment. Key Responsibilities: Design, implement, and manage scalable, secure, and cost-effective solutions on AWS. Develop and deploy infrastructure as code using tools such as AWS CloudFormation, Terraform, or similar. Manage AWS services, including EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, VPC, and IAM. Optimize cloud performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency through proactive cost management. Monitor and analyze AWS usage and spend, identifying opportunities to reduce costs while maintaining performance and security. Implement cost-saving strategies such as rightsizing instances, leveraging Reserved Instances, and using AWS Spot Instances. Assist in managing and tracking AWS budgets and forecasting cloud spend. Develop cost allocation strategies using AWS Cost Explorer and AWS Budgets to allocate expenses across teams and projects. Collaborate with development teams to create CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments. Ensure high availability and disaster recovery plans are in place and tested. Stay current with emerging AWS technologies, best practices, and industry trends, particularly around cost management. Minimum Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent work experience). Basic understanding of cloud computing concepts like elasticity, scalability, and cloud models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS). Hands-on experience with AWS services, either through internships or personal cloud projects, is highly valued. AWS Core Services: EC2, S3, VPC, IAM, Lambda, RDS, and other services. Basic networking concepts like IP addresses, DNS, and VPNs. Basic knowledge of navigating and performing tasks in a Linux environment. Ability to write scripts in languages like Python, Bash, or PowerShell for automating cloud tasks. Ability to troubleshoot basic cloud-related issues. Adaptability and willingness to learn: Cloud technologies evolve rapidly, so a passion for continuous learning is essential. Required Qualifications: Proven experience working with AWS services (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, VPC, etc.). Strong knowledge of cloud architecture, networking, security best practices, and AWS cost optimization strategies. Experience with AWS cost management tools like AWS Cost Explorer, AWS Budgets, and AWS Trusted Advisor. Expertise in rightsizing instances, managing Reserved Instances, and optimizing the use of Spot Instances to reduce AWS costs. Experience with infrastructure as code (e.g., AWS CloudFormation, Terraform). Familiarity with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes). Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipeline tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab, AWS CodePipeline). Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or similar. Excellent problem-solving and troubleshooting skills. Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team. Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. Preferred Qualifications: AWS Certified Solutions Architect or other AWS certifications. Experience with serverless architectures (AWS Lambda, API Gateway). Knowledge of DevOps practices and tools. Experience with automation tools such as Ansible for configuration management and deployment automation. Familiarity with security frameworks and compliance standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA). Experience with other cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, Google Cloud) is a plus. We encourage you to apply and help us build the future of cloud infrastructure.
