Job Overview:

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated AWS Cloud Infrastructure Engineer / IaC DevOps (14 to 20 years) to join our team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for building and managing AWS Cloud Landing Zones, enabling cloud services, and automating infrastructure pipelines using Terraform, Harness, and monitoring and observability tools. This role requires a deep understanding of AWS services, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and cloud-native architecture.

The AWS Cloud Infrastructure Engineer / IaC DevOps will work closely with development, security, and operations teams to ensure seamless deployment, scalability, and observability across the cloud infrastructure. This role is essential for maintaining a reliable and efficient cloud environment that supports both operational efficiency and business objectives.


Key Responsibilities:

1. AWS Cloud Landing Zone Setup

  • Design, implement, and manage AWS Landing Zones using AWS Control Tower or AWS Organizations for multi-account and multi-region environments.
  • Set up foundational AWS services such as VPC, IAM, CloudTrail, CloudWatch, and AWS Config in alignment with security best practices and governance controls.
  • Ensure that Landing Zone deployment follows AWS Well-Architected Framework to ensure security, performance efficiency, cost optimization, reliability, and operational excellence.
  • Configure AWS Service Catalog and AWS Service Control Policies (SCPs) to streamline service usage and enforce compliance in the Landing Zone.

2. Service Enablement & Automation

  • Enable and configure cloud services (e.g., EC2, RDS, Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, and ECS) within the Landing Zone for both internal and customer-facing applications.
  • Implement service-level controls to enforce security, scalability, and compliance across various AWS services.
  • Automate the deployment and configuration of resources using Terraform and AWS CloudFormation to provision infrastructure as code.
  • Manage and scale AWS Elastic Load Balancers (ELB), Auto Scaling, and Elastic Container Services (ECS) to ensure high availability and fault tolerance.

3. Building and Managing Pipelines

  • Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Terraform, Harness, and Jenkins to automate infrastructure provisioning and application deployments.
  • Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Cloud Formation practices to enable rapid, repeatable, and scalable cloud resource deployments.
  • Work closely with development teams to integrate application deployment pipelines into infrastructure provisioning and to optimize workflows.
  • Design and manage blue/green deployments, canary releases, and rollbacks to minimize deployment risk and downtime.

4. Monitoring, Observability & Reporting

  • Implement cloud monitoring solutions using Amazon CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and AWS X-Ray for end-to-end monitoring and observability.
  • Design and deploy centralized logging and metrics pipelines using tools like Elasticsearch, Kibana, or Splunk for log aggregation and analysis.
  • Monitor infrastructure health, application performance, and security posture using real-time alerting, dashboards, and automated remediation workflows.
  • Create and manage custom CloudWatch Alarms, CloudTrail Logs, and AWS Config Rules to ensure compliance and track resource activity.

5. Security & Compliance

  • Work with the security team to implement best practices for securing the landing zone, including IAM roles, policies, encryption, and multi-factor authentication (MFA).
  • Implement AWS Key Management Service (KMS) to manage encryption keys for securing data both at rest and in transit.
