AWS Engineer Responsibilities:

  • Ensure AWS Cloud Infrastructure achieves agreed SLAs.
  • Create, maintain and support proactive service management e.g. capacity and availability etc. and take responsibility for incident, problems and change etc.
  • Introducing new cloud infrastructure services (operationalizing, building, etc.) which adhere to relevant governance controls and service qualities.
  • Ensure creative, well organized, readable and tested code is delivered within the constraints of continuous integration and delivery environments.
  • Act as a subject matter expert for connectivity and security aspects in relation to public and private cloud-based hosting solutions.
  • Create relevant playbooks and run books as part of any build and run documentation.

  • Design and introduce relevant automated support for code validation and reducing the potential for defects, functional and non-functional service testing for cloud infrastructure services.
  • Quality built in by default into any infrastructure code and documentation.
  • Propose secure, scalable, reusable solutions using AWS products.
  • Evaluate and make use of new AWS features to improve our architecture.

As an AWS Engineer you will have:

  • Experience with AWS including the design of VPCs, networking, RDS, API gateways, EKS, ECS, etc.
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools with AWS, such as CloudFormation or Terraform.
  • Experience in working within an Agile, DevOps and Cloud environment, with a focus on security, availability, reliability and automation.
  • Exposure and understanding of CI/CD pipelines and how these feed into a microservices architecture.
  • Strong understanding and experience of managing networking concepts and protocols.
  • Experience designing and working with fault tolerant, highly available, high traffic/throughput, distributed, scalable systems.
  • Proficient in at least one scripting language such as PowerShell, Bash, Python, or similar.
