  • Build and operate hybrid environments (on‑prem + cloud).
• Automation & Infrastructure as Code
  • Design and maintain automated infrastructure pipelines.
  • Build automation using Python, Bash, and PowerShell.
  • Implement zero‑touch provisioning and configuration management.
  • Reduce operational toil through automation and standardization.
• Security & Compliance

  • Enforce IAM least‑privilege models.
  • Design network segmentation and secure connectivity.

Required Qualifications & Skills (Non‑Negotiable)

• 7–10+ years in Systems / Infrastructure Engineering.
• AWS Certifications (Solutions Architect Professional preferred).
• Strong, hands‑on AWS experience (built and operated real environments).
• Deep understanding of networking fundamentals (L3 / L4 / L7).
• Strong expertise in security and identity management.
• Solid systems background in Linux and Windows.
• Proven experience with automation.
• Experience operating hybrid environments.
• Exceptional troubleshooting ability across multiple layers.

Nice‑to‑Have Skills (Highly Valuable)

• Experience with Kubernetes.
• Exposure to media, OTT, or high‑traffic platforms.
• Strong database engineering background, especially:
  • Oracle Database administration.
  • Oracle RAC, Data Guard, RMAN.

Recruitment Pro Tip

Candidates who clearly demonstrate end‑to‑end AWS ownership—including architectures they personally built, operated, optimized, and troubleshot in production—stand out significantly. Quantify impact wherever possible (cost savings, uptime, scale, automation gains).
