• Collaborate with platform and application engineering teams to capture requirements and deliver optimized cloud environments.

• Establish monitoring, logging, and cost optimization frameworks to improve cloud observability and efficiency.

• Proven expertise in AWS cloud networking: VPCs, subnets, Security Groups, NACLs, routing, and peering.

• Strong proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or ARM templates).

• Hands-on experience integrating infrastructure automation with Service Catalogs (ServiceNow, Backstage).

• Deep knowledge of cloud security best practices, identity and access management, and compliance frameworks.

• Proficiency with Docker, Kubernetes, and serverless architectures.

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation frameworks for infrastructure delivery.

• Strong understanding of cloud cost management and optimization strategies.

• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills.

• Strong leadership and communication skills; proven ability to mentor junior engineers.
