Job Title: Cloud Engineer – Cloud Tower / Cloud Foundation & AWS
Role Summary: Design, deploy, and operate Cloud Tower solutions on Cloud Foundation, driving AWS infrastructure administration, serverless application lifecycle management, and IaC automation. Act as a platform and security advocate, ensuring scalable, secure, and highly automated cloud services.
Expectations:
- Minimum 5 years of hands‑on AWS platform administration.
- Proficiency in AWS Lambda development, debugging, and performance tuning.
- Advanced Python programming with extensive boto3 usage.
- Deep knowledge of AWS security primitives (IAM, KMS, SCC, VPC security).
- Experience building IaC with CloudFormation/CDK/Terraform.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines for serverless and infrastructure deployments.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Architect and deploy Cloud Tower components on Cloud Foundation, integrating with AWS accounts and services.
