This role executes day-to-day provisioning, automation, and support work that keeps our Client's AWS platform running securely and reliably.

In this role, you will:

Provision and manage AWS accounts and tenant structures, including IAM users/roles, cross-account access, and SSO group setup, following established playbooks
Write and maintain Terraform modules — both applying existing centralized modules and authoring new ones — for account setup, networking, IAM, and resource provisioning

Support secrets management workflows (AWS Secrets Manager, Vault) for integrations with third-party platforms (e.g., Mulesoft)
Apply security and governance guardrails to provisioned resources (least-privilege IAM, encryption, AMI/container compliance checks)
Troubleshoot and resolve day-to-day AWS support tickets across compute, storage, and networking for cross-functional customers (engineering tools, HPC/simulation workloads, mission control systems, data platform, manufacturing systems)
Follow and help maintain runbooks/playbooks for recurring provisioning and operational tasks
Escalate architectural or ambiguous issues to senior team members while owning execution of well-defined requests

Qualifications:

5+ years of experience
Hands-on experience with AWS in a production environment — compute, storage, networking, and IAM
Experience with Infrastructure as Code, ideally Terraform, including writing and modifying modules
Working knowledge of AWS networking fundamentals (VPCs, subnets, routing, security groups)
Understanding of IAM and cloud security fundamentals (least privilege, encryption, secrets management)
Comfortable working from tickets, playbooks, and runbooks, and following documented processes accurately
Good written and verbal communication skills; able to work with engineers and business stakeholders to clarify requirements
Ability to work independently on well-scoped tasks while knowing when to escalate

Bonus Qualifications:

Experience with Terraform Cloud, Spacelift, or similar centralized IaC platforms
Exposure to multi-account AWS environments (Landing Zones, Control Tower)
Experience with containerized workloads (Kubernetes/EKS)
Familiarity with monitoring/alerting tools (e.g., Grafana, CloudWatch)
Exposure to AI/ML or HPC cloud workloads
