Professionals in this role manage, deploy, and secure cloud-based applications while ensuring compliance with government regulations such as FedRAMP and ITAR.

Familiarity with AWS services, automation tools (like Terraform or CloudFormation), and relevant AWS certifications (such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect or Security Specialty) is highly valued. Strong analytical skills, effective communication, and a detail-oriented approach help professionals in this space successfully coordinate with stakeholders and adhere to strict regulations. These skills ensure secure, compliant, and efficient cloud environments for government clients with sensitive workloads.

  • Monitor AWS service quotas and request increases as call volumes scale; track Bedrock inference consumption, Lambda concurrency, and Kinesis shard utilization
  • Configure and maintain AWS backup strategies for critical data stores (DynamoDB, S3) with documented recovery procedures
  • Respond to operational incidents per the incident management framework; perform root cause analysis and implement preventive measures
  • Support 24x7x365 monitoring and on-call rotation for production environment availability
  • Maintain operational runbooks and standard operating procedures for common administrative tasks, incident response, and disaster recovery
Required Qualifications
  • 3+ years of experience administering AWS environments in production, including IAM, VPC, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, S3, Lambda, and KMS
  • Experience operating within AWS GovCloud or equivalent FedRAMP-authorized cloud environments
  • Strong understanding of IAM policy design, service control policies, permission boundaries, and cross-account access patterns
  • Proficiency with CloudWatch monitoring, alarms, dashboards, and log management (CloudWatch Logs, Log Insights)
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code (CloudFormation, CDK, or Terraform) for environment provisioning and change management
  • Familiarity with NIST 800-53 security controls, FedRAMP continuous monitoring requirements, and DFARS 252.204-7012
  • Understanding of encryption at rest (KMS, SSE) and in transit (TLS 1.2/1.3) implementation in AWS
  • Experience with incident management processes and on-call rotations in production environments
