Role Overview
We are seeking a highly skilled Cloud Specialist to lead the design, deployment, and optimization of scalable cloud infrastructure. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of managing complex cloud migrations, implementing robust Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices, and ensuring high-level security compliance within Government, BFSI, and Enterprise sectors. You will act as a technical lead, partnering with stakeholders to architect resilient environments that align with global compliance standards.
Key Responsibilities
Infrastructure Design & Deployment: Architect and deploy secure AWS environments, including Landing Zones (Control Tower), Centralized Networking (Transit Gateway, Direct Connect), and serverless architectures.
Automation & IaC: Develop and maintain modular Terraform configurations following DRY principles to automate the deployment of core services like API Gateways, EKS, and RDS.
CI/CD & DevOps: Build and manage automated CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab, or GitHub Actions, integrating Policy-as-Code (PaC) tools like Checkov and Sentinel to ensure 100% security validation before deployment.
Cloud Migration: Lead large-scale migrations (On-prem/Azure to AWS) using tools such as AWS MGN, DMS, and DataSync, ensuring minimal downtime and data integrity.
Security & Compliance: Align cloud infrastructure with regulatory frameworks (e.g., IM8, CIS Benchmarks, AWS Well-Architected Framework) and remediate findings from AWS Trusted Advisor or GuardDuty.
Performance Optimization: Implement cost-optimization strategies via S3 lifecycle policies and enhance system resilience through Disaster Recovery (DR) simulations in Pilot Light modes.
Technical Requirements
Cloud Platforms: Deep expertise in AWS core services; familiarity with Azure and GCP is a plus.
Containerization: Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes (EKS), and Helm charts in air-gapped or private environments.
Database Management: Experience migrating and managing MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MSSQL within RDS.
Scripting: Proficiency in Python, Bash, or PowerShell for automating operational tasks and custom Lambda functions.
Networking: Strong understanding of NGINX reverse proxying, FQDN-based routing, and hybrid connectivity.
Preferred Qualifications & Certifications
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical field.
Certifications:
- Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA).
- HashiCorp Certified Terraform Professional/Associate
- AWS Certified Solutions Architect or Database Specialty.
Experience: >5 years of hands-on experience in cloud engineering.
