This role focuses on infrastructure provisioning, AWS networking, and security best practices, with an emphasis on automation and scalable architecture.

• Provision and manage core AWS services, including:
  • S3 (buckets, policies, lifecycle, security)
  • CloudTrail (logging, auditing, multi-account setup)
  • IAM (roles, policies, permission boundaries, trust relationships)
• Build and manage AWS networking components:
  • VPCs, subnets, routing, NAT/IGW
  • VPC Endpoints (Gateway & Interface) + endpoint policies
  • Transit Gateway / CloudWAN
  • VPC Peering and RAM (Resource Access Manager) sharing
• Configure and manage:
  • Route 53 (hosted zones, resolvers)
  • AWS Cloud Map (service discovery)
  • IPAM (IP Address Manager) pools and allocations
• Implement security and compliance controls:
  • AWS Config
  • Security Hub
  • Control Tower integrations
  • Develop reusable Terraform modules and maintain state management best practices
  • Troubleshoot infrastructure and connectivity issues across multi-account environments
  • Ensure alignment with security, governance, and least-privilege principles

Required Qualifications

• Total Experience of 13 plus years
• 3–6+ years of hands-on AWS experience
• Strong experience with Terraform (required):
  • Writing reusable modules
  • Managing state (remote backends, locking)
  • Multi-account deployments
• Deep understanding of AWS Networking:
  • VPC design, routing, segmentation
  • Transit Gateway / CloudWAN
  • VPC endpoints and private connectivity
• Strong knowledge of AWS Security:
  • IAM roles, policies, permission boundaries
  • SCPs (Service Control Policies)
  • Logging and auditing (CloudTrail)
  • Experience with multi-account AWS environments (Control Tower preferred)
• Hands-on experience with:
  • AWS Config
  • Security Hub
  • VPC sharing (RAM)

Preferred Qualifications
Experience in regulated environments (banking, enterprise, compliance-heavy)

Familiarity with:

• AWS Control Tower governance models
• CloudWAN architecture
• Centralized logging / audit accounts
• Experience integrating with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Terraform in pipelines)
• Knowledge of OIDC / identity federation patterns

Certifications (Required / Preferred)

• AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (minimum)
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional (strongly preferred)
• AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (preferred)
• AWS Certified Security Specialty - (Good to Have)
• HashiCorp Terraform Associate Certification (preferred)

What We’re Looking For (Key Signals)

• Proven ability to build AWS infrastructure from scratch using Terraform
• Strong understanding of network flows, security boundaries, and governance
• Experience working in multi-account, enterprise-scale AWS environments
• Ability to troubleshoot complex networking and IAM issues
• Not reliant on console (minimal “click-ops”) — automation-first mindset
