  • Troubleshoot complex distributed systems, containerized workloads, and integrations across AWS services.
  • Maintain deep technical knowledge of AWS services, infrastructure platforms, and emerging cloud capabilities.
  • Develop and enforce technical standards, reference architectures, and best practices for AWS infrastructure, security, and operations.
  • Evaluate and test vendor technologies, third‑party tools, and cloud‑native services for alignment with enterprise architecture.
  • Translate business requirements into technical architectures, selecting the right AWS tools and patterns to meet client needs.
  • Participate in system design reviews, capacity planning, platform governance, and launch readiness assessments.
  • Collaborate with Site Reliability Engineering teams and stay current on trends such as observability-driven development, chaos engineering, and automated resilience testing.
  • Apply strong organizational, analytical, and leadership skills to guide teams and influence technical direction.

  • Three or more years supporting large public-sector platforms.
  • Experience with microservices architectures, container runtimes (Docker), and orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, OpenShift, or AWS EKS).
  • Strong understanding of cloud security, including IAM, KMS, encryption, network security, and compliance frameworks.
  • Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments and contributing to iterative delivery.
  • Ability to communicate effectively across cross‑functional teams and up to executive leadership.
