Senior Cloud Engineer, AWS
We are seeking a Senior AWS Cloud Engineer to design, build, and operate full-stack cloud infrastructure on AWS. This role is responsible for delivering scalable, secure, and highly available cloud environments across networking, compute, storage, and platform services.
This is a hands-on engineering role that combines deep technical execution with architectural collaboration, requiring strong experience in AWS, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and cloud-native design patterns. The ideal candidate will also provide technical leadership to junior engineers while partnering closely with centralized architecture teams.
Responsibilities
Cloud Infrastructure Engineering
- Design, build, and maintain end-to-end AWS infrastructure including:
- Networking (VPCs, subnets, routing, security groups)
- Compute (EC2, Elastic Beanstalk, container platforms)
- Storage (S3, EBS, RDS, and related services)
- Build scalable, resilient, and cost-efficient cloud environments aligned with enterprise standards
- Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred, CloudFormation, or similar)
- Implement CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation for infrastructure and applications
Architecture & Design
- Translate business and application requirements into AWS-based solutions and technical designs
- Collaborate with centralized AWS architects to align implementation with enterprise architecture standards
- Contribute to design reviews, architecture decisions, and continuous improvement of cloud patterns
- Ensure solutions meet security, compliance, and performance standards
- Collaborate across departments with Application Development leadership to align on and design infrastructure solutions
Operations & Reliability
- Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize AWS environments for performance, availability, and cost efficiency
- Implement best practices for logging, monitoring, and alerting (e.g., CloudWatch)
- Participate in incident response and root cause analysis
- Support disaster recovery and business continuity planning
Leadership & Collaboration
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers
- Lead implementation efforts and drive engineering best practices
- Collaborate with DevOps Platform team, security, and application teams to deliver integrated solutions
- Act as a senior engineering voice in technical discussions and decision-making
On-Call & Support
- Participate in a rotational on-call schedule, including after-hours and weekend support
- Respond to and resolve production incidents as part of operational responsibilities
Qualifications
- 5+ years of hands-on AWS engineering experience (mid-to-senior level)
- Proven experience designing and implementing AWS infrastructure across:
- Networking, compute, and storage layers
- Strong expertise with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) (Terraform)
- Deep knowledge of AWS core services (e.g., EC2, S3, VPC, IAM) and platform services
- Experience with Elastic Beanstalk and application deployment patterns
- Solid understanding of cloud architecture, security, and scalability
Preferred Qualifications
- AWS certifications (e.g., Solutions Architect, SysOps Administrator)
- Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS)
- Experience with CI/CD tooling and DevOps practices
- Familiarity with cost optimization (FinOps) practices
- Background in hybrid cloud or migration initiatives
- PCI, SOC and SOX experience
- Experience with on prem Windows infrastructure is a plus
Technical Skills
- AWS Services: EC2, VPC, S3, IAM, RDS, Elastic Beanstalk
- Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, CloudFormation
- Scripting: Python, Bash, or similar
- CI/CD: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline
- Monitoring: CloudWatch and logging tools
- New Relic: Experience with New Relic is a plus
Soft Skills
- Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills
- Ability to translate complex technical concepts into actionable solutions
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills
- Proven ability to mentor and lead junior engineers
Work Environment & Expectations
- Full-time role (remote/hybrid depending on team needs)
- Participation in on-call rotation including evenings and weekends
- Fast-paced, collaborative cloud engineering environment
This role is ideal for a hands-on, senior-level AWS engineer who:
- Owns infrastructure end-to-end (network compute storage)
- Balances execution with architecture alignment
- Leads others while still building
- Thrives in an operationally critical, production-facing environment
