AWS Cloud Engineer

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for an AWS Cloud Engineer in the United States.

This role is a hands-on cloud engineering position focused on designing, building, and operating secure, scalable, and highly available AWS environments that support mission-critical applications. You will work across infrastructure, security, DevOps, and application teams to deliver resilient cloud-native platforms that meet enterprise-grade requirements. The position involves deep technical ownership of cloud architecture, automation, observability, and performance optimization across complex distributed systems. You will help define and implement best practices for infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud governance. The environment is fast-paced and engineering-driven, with strong emphasis on reliability, scalability, and operational excellence. This is an opportunity to shape cloud infrastructure at scale while driving continuous improvement and modernization initiatives.

You will design, implement, and operate enterprise-scale AWS cloud environments with a strong focus on automation, reliability, security, and performance.

• Architect and manage scalable AWS environments across core services such as compute, networking, storage, and identity management.
• Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code using tools such as Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or AWS CDK with strong version control and automation practices.
• Design secure multi-account AWS architectures, including landing zones, centralized logging, and governance frameworks.
• Develop and operate containerized platforms using services such as Amazon EKS and Amazon ECS.
• Implement secure networking architectures including VPC design, routing, VPN, and hybrid connectivity solutions.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or AWS-native services.
• Design and implement observability solutions using monitoring, logging, and tracing tools to ensure system reliability and performance.
• Strengthen cloud security posture through IAM design, encryption strategies, and compliance enforcement.
• Drive disaster recovery planning, backup strategies, and cross-region resilience testing.
• Develop automation scripts in Python, Bash, or Go to improve operational efficiency and incident response.
• Partner with engineering and security teams to guide cloud-native architecture decisions and best practices.
• Contribute to cost optimization initiatives and FinOps-driven cloud efficiency improvements.
