About the Role:

As a Consulting Principal AWS Cloud Engineer, you will design, build, and guide secure, scalable AWS cloud platforms and cloud-native solutions. You will partner with engineering, security, architecture, and product teams to implement infrastructure automation, Kubernetes and serverless patterns, observability, and resilient operating practices. This role combines hands-on cloud engineering with technical leadership, mentoring, and practical architectural guidance that supports business agility, reliability, and cost-effective innovation.

Requirements

• 10+ years of engineering or IT experience, with 5+ years focused on AWS cloud engineering, automation, platform engineering, or cloud architecture.

• Strong hands-on experience with core AWS services, including EC2, S3, VPC, IAM, Lambda, RDS/Aurora, EKS, CloudWatch, and Route 53.

• Experience leveraging AI-assisted engineering tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor) in day-to-day development, code review, and platform work — and a demonstrated ability to enable and upskill other engineers in their adoption.

• Experience designing and implementing Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK, or similar tooling.

• Strong scripting or programming skills using Python, Bash, Go, or similar languages to automate cloud operations and integration workflows.

• Knowledge of CI/CD, DevOps, and GitOps practices using tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Argo CD, Azure DevOps, or comparable platforms.

• Experience with containers and Kubernetes-based deployment patterns, including Docker, EKS, Helm, service networking, and autoscaling concepts.

• Solid understanding of AWS networking concepts, including VPC design, subnets, routing, security groups, load balancing, DNS, and hybrid connectivity patterns.

• Knowledge of cloud security and compliance practices, including IAM least privilege, encryption, secrets management, vulnerability remediation, and policy guardrails.

• Experience with observability and SRE practices, including monitoring, logging, alerting, incident response, runbooks, and operational readiness reviews.

• Experience supporting cloud data services and storage patterns such as RDS/Aurora, DynamoDB, S3, caching, backup, and lifecycle management.

• Strong communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and mentoring skills, with the ability to influence technical decisions across teams.

• Experience with platform engineering Internal Developer Portal (IDE) or self-service cloud development environments that help teams design, provision, deploy, and operate cloud infrastructure through governed workflows.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain secure, highly available AWS environments optimized for reliability, performance, scalability, and cost efficiency.

• Implement reusable AWS infrastructure patterns across compute, networking, storage, identity, containers, serverless, and database services.

• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code modules, templates, and pipelines that support consistent provisioning and deployment practices.

• Develop and maintain internal enablement resources — playbooks, templates, workshops that accelerate team adoption of AI-assisted engineering across the engineering organization.

• Build and support Kubernetes and container-based workloads on AWS, including EKS deployment patterns, Helm-based releases, ingress, autoscaling, and observability integrations.

• Champion the adoption of AI-assisted engineering practices across the team, identifying high-value use cases, curating tooling, and building enablement resources that raise the engineering floor.

• Partner with application, security, architecture, and operations teams to modernize workloads and improve cloud-native delivery practices.

• Implement security controls and operational guardrails, including least-privilege IAM, encryption, secrets management, network segmentation, and compliance-aligned practices.

• Improve cloud operations through monitoring, logging, alerting, incident response, runbooks, automated remediation, and continuous reliability improvements.

• Review cloud designs and changes against AWS Well-Architected principles, internal standards, and production readiness expectations.

• Troubleshoot complex cloud, platform, networking, deployment, and performance issues across AWS environments.

• Mentor engineers on AWS, Kubernetes, automation, security, and platform engineering best practices while promoting continuous learning.

• Communicate technical recommendations clearly to engineering partners, product stakeholders, security teams, and leadership.

Preferred Qualifications:

• AWS Associate or Professional-level certification, Certified Kubernetes Administrator, or comparable cloud/platform certification.

• Experience building reusable Infrastructure as Code modules, golden paths, templates, or self-service provisioning patterns for engineering teams.

• Experience with AWS multi-account, landing zone, or account governance patterns using services such as AWS Organizations, Control Tower, IAM Identity Center, or related guardrail capabilities.

• Experience with serverless and event-driven AWS architectures using services such as Lambda, Step Functions, API Gateway, EventBridge, SQS, SNS, or Kinesis.

• Experience with observability platforms and operational tooling such as CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Splunk, or comparable monitoring and logging solutions.

• Familiarity with cloud cost optimization, capacity planning, tagging strategies, and FinOps practices.

• Experience supporting data, analytics, AI, or machine learning workloads on AWS is a plus.

• Experience with AWS AI/ML services including Bedrock, SageMaker, or related managed AI services — particularly in designing the infrastructure and operational patterns that support AI workload deployment at scale.
