AWS Infrastructure Cloud Engineer (Terraform + Python Automation)

• Own CI/CD integration for infrastructure deployments.

• Use Ansible for configuration management and post-provisioning tasks where appropriate.

• Administer and troubleshoot Linux-based systems used in cloud workloads and build agents.

• Ensure infrastructure meets security, resiliency, and cost-management standards (least privilege, encryption, logging, backups, HA).

• Collaborate with stakeholders to define standards: naming/tagging, module versioning, branching strategy, and release controls.

• Troubleshoot incidents and deployment issues; perform root cause analysis and implement preventive improvements.

• Produce and maintain technical documentation (runbooks, module READMEs, onboarding guides).

Required skills (must-have)

• Terraform: strong hands-on experience building AWS infrastructure; modules, state management, remote backends, workspaces/environment separation, lifecycle patterns.

• AWS: solid understanding of core services (VPC, subnets, routing, IAM, EC2, ALB/NLB, Auto Scaling, S3, KMS, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, Security Groups/NACLs).

• Linux: operating system fundamentals, networking basics, troubleshooting, permissions, system services.

• Ansible: playbooks/roles, inventories, variables, idempotent configuration patterns.

• Jenkins: pipeline creation/maintenance; integrating Terraform workflows; secrets handling and approvals.

• Scripting: Python preferred (any one scripting language acceptable); ability to write maintainable automation and tooling (APIs, CLI utilities, JSON/YAML handling).

Good to have

• GCP: exposure to GCP services and comparable IaC patterns (multi-cloud awareness).

• Container fundamentals (Docker/Kubernetes) and cloud-native observability practices.

• Experience with security tooling or policy-as-code (e.g., Sentinel/OPA), if used in your environment.
