• Provision and manage AWS services such as VPC, EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, RDS, S3, IAM, Route 53, ALB/NLB, and CloudFront.
• Integrate Terraform into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or AWS CodePipeline) with automated plan, validate, and apply workflows.
• Implement security and compliance controls: least-privilege IAM, encryption, security groups, KMS, and policy-as-code (Sentinel, OPA, or Checkov).
• Monitor and optimize infrastructure for performance, availability, and cost.
• Manage multi-account AWS environments (AWS Organizations, Control Tower, SCPs).
• Detect and remediate configuration drift, and support Terraform version and provider upgrades.
• Troubleshoot infrastructure issues and participate in incident response.
• Document architecture, standards, and runbooks; mentor junior engineers.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure or DevOps roles.

• Solid understanding and working experience of Core Java (8/7/21) and its related concepts.
• Strong working knowledge of core AWS services (networking, compute, storage, databases, IAM).
• Solid understanding of AWS networking: VPC design, subnets, NAT, Transit Gateway, VPC peering, and VPN/Direct Connect.
• Experience writing modular, DRY Terraform code (variables, outputs, locals, data sources, for_each, dynamic blocks).
• Proficiency with Git and branching/review workflows.
• Experience with CI/CD tooling and pipeline automation.
• Scripting skills in Bash, Python, or similar.
• Understanding of cloud security best practices and the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
