AWS Cloud Engineer

Daily Responsibilities

As an AWS Cloud Engineer, you will help build clients’ cloud platforms, pipelines, and tooling. You’ll work directly with customers and each one must be able to explain technical content to people who might be less familiar with the technology. Delivering quality solutions is more important than just “getting the job done” – this means participating in various customer projects, from new infrastructure builds and migrations to audits and big data. Engineers are responsible for the detailed technical design of solutions (e.g. what technology and how) as well as implementation, engineering best practices, and cloud/DevOps engineering work. You will design and implement excellent technical solutions based on cloud platforms and relevant 3rd‑party tools, focusing on cloud infrastructure mainly as code (infrastructure as code, application deployments, configuration management, etc.).
