Job Overview:
We are looking for someone who can work directly with enterprise customers to design, build, and deliver cloud foundations that support large-scale platforms and migration programs.
This is a consulting role with real hands-on depth. You will not just advise—you will build alongside delivery teams and own the technical outcomes.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and implement AWS Landing Zones (Control Tower, AFT, multi-account strategy) with governance, networking, identity, and security baselines
- Define cloud platform strategies for application modernization, database migrations, container orchestration (EKS), and hybrid architecture
- Build and optimize Infrastructure CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or similar (YAML pipelines, service connections, environments, approvals) with Terraform/Terragrunt as the primary IaC tool
- Design Terraform module architectures, including reusable modules, remote state management, workspace strategies, and drift detection for enterprise-scale AWS environments
- Establish governance frameworks using AWS Service Control Policies, IAM, Cost Explorer, tagging strategies, and compliance guardrails—all deployed and enforced through CI/CD
- Lead platform engineering efforts, including EKS cluster design, networking (VPC Transit Gateway, PrivateLink), and security architecture
- Implement observability and monitoring strategies using CloudWatch, Datadog, or similar tooling
- Guide and mentor delivery teams through complex technical decisions
Good to Have:
- AWS certifications (Solutions Architect Professional, DevOps Engineer Professional)
- Azure knowledge (Landing Zones, Azure DevOps) as a secondary cloud
- Experience with EKS, service mesh (Istio), and GitOps (ArgoCD)
- Database migration experience (RDS, DMS, PostgreSQL)
- Background in regulated industries (pharma, financial services, manufacturing)
- Experience integrating security scanning (SAST, DAST, SCA) into CI/CD pipelines
- SAP on AWS migration experience
