• Troubleshoot EC2, Linux, DNS, routing, application connectivity, and production incidents.
• Support AWS WorkSpaces, golden images, encryption, and endpoint-security integrations.
• Review AWS utilization and identify cost-optimization opportunities.
• Create technical documentation, operational procedures, and incident reports.
• Work with DevOps, security, development, and infrastructure teams.
• Use AI-assisted engineering tools to improve automation, troubleshooting, and documentation.

• Strong understanding of security groups, network ACLs, routing, NAT gateways, and internet gateways.
• Experience with CloudWatch, Datadog, or another enterprise monitoring platform.
• Experience troubleshooting production cloud and networking incidents.
• Strong scripting skills using Bash, Python, or similar languages.
• Understanding of cloud security, encryption, logging, vulnerability remediation, and least-privilege access.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.
