Experience
5–6 years in enterprise AWS and Azure environments
Job Overview
We are seeking an experiencedCloud Engineer skilled in both AWS and Azure environments. In this role, youwill design, build, manage and optimize multi-cloud infrastructure whilemaintaining strict adherence to cybersecurity and data protection standards.
You will proactively drive costefficiencies, optimize resource utilization and recommend system improvementsto support continuous business growth.
Key Responsibilities
- Provision, configure and manage cloud infrastructureacross AWS and Azure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform,CloudFormation, Azure ARM/Bicep).
- Maintain high availability, scalability and disasterrecovery strategies across virtual machines, containerized workloads (EKS, AKS,ECS), networking components (VPCs, VNets) and serverless architectures.
- Automate deployment pipelines and routine operationsusing standard DevOps methodologies.
2. Cost Optimization & Resource Usage Tuning
- Analyze cloud spending across AWS and Azure to identifycost-reduction opportunities.
- Implement rightsizing policies, auto-scaling, ReservedInstances (RIs), Savings Plans and Spot instances to eliminate waste.
- Monitor resource utilization metrics to optimizeworkload performance while avoiding over-provisioning.
- Establish budget alerts, cost allocation tags andchargeback/showback mechanisms for departments.
3. Security Management, Implementations & Cyber Security
- Implement robust identity and access management (IAM)controls using least-privilege principles across AWS IAM and Microsoft Entra ID(Azure AD).
- Enforce perimeter and network security using firewalls,Security Groups, WAF (Web Application Firewall) and Zero Trust networkconfigurations.
- Deploy and manage threat detection and monitoringsolutions (e.g., AWS GuardDuty, Security Hub, Microsoft Defender for Cloud,Microsoft Sentinel).
- Conduct vulnerability scanning, assist with complianceaudits (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001) and remediate identified security gaps quickly.
4. Data Security & Governance
- Implement data encryption both at rest (AWS KMS, AzureKey Vault) and in transit (TLS/SSL).
- Configure data loss prevention (DLP) controls, securestorage buckets/containers and access policies for sensitive data.
- Establish data backup, retention and disaster recoverystrategies aligned with enterprise data governance standards.
5. Continuous Improvement & Architecture Recommendations
- Continuously evaluate emerging cloud technology,recommending upgrades and architectural enhancements.
- Participate in architectural reviews to suggestresilience, efficiency and security improvements for existing systems.
- Document system architecture, standard operatingprocedures (SOPs) and operational runbooks.
Required Qualifications & Experience
Experience: 5–6 years ofhands-on experience managing enterprise cloud environments across both AWS andAzure.
Technical Skills:
- Deep knowledge of core AWS services (EC2, S3, RDS,Lambda, IAM, CloudWatch, VPC) and Azure services (VMs, Blob Storage, Azure SQL,Functions, Entra ID, VNets).
- Hands-on proficiency with Infrastructure as Code(Terraform, Bicep or CloudFormation).
- Familiarity with containerization tools (Docker,Kubernetes, EKS/AKS).
- Experience with cloud cost management and governancetools (AWS Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Management, CloudHealth or Kubecost).
- Strong understanding of cloud cybersecurity frameworks,data protection standards and network security protocols.
