• Manage VPCs, security groups, IAM roles, and cross-account networking and permissions within AWS.
• Support secure integration with Microsoft PowerApps and other third-party services where applicable.

• Strong understanding of AWS core services: EventBridge, Lambda, EC2, S3, and MWAA (Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow).
• Experience with infrastructure reliability, observability tooling, and platform automation.
• Solid experience with CI/CD pipelines, preferably Bitbucket Pipelines.
• Familiarity with Snowflake administration and deployment practices.
• Comfortable working through ambiguity and in cross-functional, collaborative teams.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.

Desirable (Not Required)

• Python scripting experience (for automation or lightweight tooling).
• Exposure to MLOps tooling and workflows.
• Familiarity with Power Platform (especially Microsoft PowerApps) in a data integration context.
• Understanding of data lineage, governance, and operational monitoring in modern data stacks.
