Job description

Cloud Infrastructure Design & Implementation

  • Design, provision, and manage scalable, secure, and highly available AWS infrastructure (VPC, EC2, EKS, RDS, S3, IAM, Route 53, CloudWatch, etc.).
  • Define and implement infrastructure-as-code (IaC) using Terraform or AWS CloudFormation.
  • Establish networking, security, and governance standards aligned with AWS Well-Architected Framework.
  • Set up CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure provisioning and application deployments.

Kubernetes Platform Engineering

  • Deploy, configure, and operate Amazon EKS clusters in production environments.
  • Manage containerization strategies and support Kubernetes workloads.
  • Implement Kubernetes best practices including namespace management, RBAC, pod security policies, autoscaling (HPA/Cluster Autoscaler), and resource quotas.
  • Integrate observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch Container Insights.
  • Maintain Helm charts and manage deployments via GitOps workflows (e.g., ArgoCD or Flux).

On-Prem to Cloud Migration

  • Assess existing on-premises infrastructure, including middleware platforms (e.g., TIBCO BusinessWorks, EMS).
  • Collaborate with application and integration teams to map data flows, dependencies, and integration patterns.
  • Identify cloud-native or managed alternatives for legacy components (e.g., Amazon MQ, MSK, EventBridge).
  • Lead migration and modernization efforts to transition workloads to AWS.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience architecting and managing AWS infrastructure in production environments.
  • 3+ years of hands-on Kubernetes experience (EKS or self-managed clusters).
  • Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred; CloudFormation acceptable).
  • Proficiency in Linux system administration and scripting (Bash/Python).
  • Solid understanding of networking concepts (VPC, subnets, routing, VPN, Direct Connect, Transit Gateway).
  • Experience with container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm).
  • Ability to troubleshoot and reverse-engineer middleware architectures.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across architecture, development, and business teams.
  • Experience with middleware platforms (TIBCO BusinessWorks, EMS, Kafka, Solace, etc.).
  • Hands-on experience with AWS messaging and integration services (Amazon MQ, MSK, SQS/SNS).
  • Familiarity with CI/CD tools and GitOps practices (Flux, ArgoCD).
  • Experience with API management and gateway solutions (AWS API Gateway, Kong, Apigee).
  • Relevant certifications preferred (AWS Certified Solutions Architect/DevOps Engineer, CKA/CKAD
