AWS Cloud Engineer

AllCloud is seeking an AWS Cloud Engineer to design, build, and deploy scalable, reliable, and secure cloud environments for customers. The role delivers cloud projects including migrations, containerized deployments, landing zones, and infrastructure-as-code, while supporting AWS architecture, automation, monitoring, troubleshooting, and customer engagements.

Responsibilities:

• Architect, design, deploy, and maintain scalable, highly available, and secure AWS infrastructure for project needs (e.g., compute, storage, networking, database)
• Lead or participate in cloud migrations: lifting and shifting on-premises workloads, re-architecting to cloud-native services
• Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK
• Implement CI/CD pipelines (for example via AWS CodePipeline / AWS CodeBuild / Jenkins / GitLab CI) to automate deployment workflows
• Implement serverless solutions using AWS Lambda, Step Functions, and integrate event-driven architectures where appropriate
• Containerize applications (Docker) and orchestrate microservices using AWS container platform services, with a strong focus on Amazon EKS, ECS, and Fargate
• Ensure monitoring, logging, alerting, tracing of AWS resources and applications using tools like CloudWatch, X-Ray, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK stack
• Apply best practices around security: IAM policies, least privilege, encryption (at rest/in transit), network segmentation (VPCs, subnets), Web Application Firewall (WAF), GuardDuty, AWS Shield, etc
• Implement backup, disaster recovery and high availability strategies; manage data redundancies, snapshots, multi-AZ / multi-region architectures
• Optimize cost & performance: right-sizing resources, identifying waste, designing for efficiency
• Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve issues in cloud infrastructure and services; conduct root cause analyses
• Maintain documentation for architectures, configurations, standard operating procedures, runbooks
• Engage with cross-functional teams: developers, QA, operations, security/compliance, and project managers to ensure successful delivery
• Communicate proactively and effectively with clients to understand technical needs, provide progress updates, and articulate complex solutions clearly
• Apply critical thinking and strategic problem-solving to evaluate trade-offs, identify root causes, and design robust cloud architectures
• Stay up to date on the latest AWS services, features, industry best practices; evaluate new technologies and recommend improvements
• Perform deep OS-level troubleshooting and system administration across both Linux and Windows environments operating in the cloud

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology or relevant field (or equivalent work experience)
• 3-5+ years of hands-on experience working with AWS in an engineering or infrastructure role (seniority adjustable)
• Strong knowledge of core AWS services: EC2, S3, VPC, RDS / Aurora, Lambda, API Gateway, IAM, CloudWatch, etc
• Proven experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools: Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or AWS CDK
• Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration using Docker, Kubernetes / Amazon EKS, ECS, and Fargate
• Proven ability to debug and troubleshoot complex container workload issues in Kubernetes, Amazon EKS, and AWS ECS environments
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, AWS CodePipeline, GitHub Actions
• Solid scripting skills (Python, Bash, NodeJS, PowerShell, or similar) for automating tasks
• Working familiarity with monitoring, logging, tracing tools (e.g. CloudWatch, X-Ray, ELK stack, Prometheus, Grafana)
• Strong understanding of cloud networking, security, and compliance (VPCs, subnets, security groups, network ACLs, encryption, identity management)
• Experience in project delivery: working in agile or scrum environments, estimating work, delivering against milestones
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Good communication skills—able to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Deep technical knowledge and hands-on experience with OS-level administration, configuration, and advanced troubleshooting for both Linux and Windows Server platforms
• Strong client-facing communication skills with a proven track record of building trust and managing technical discussions with stakeholders
• Exceptional critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and decisive problem-solving capabilities under complex or ambiguous scenario conditions
