Job description

Senior AWS Cloud Platform Engineer

Location: Reston, VA (Hybrid)
Duration: 12-Month Contract
Pay Rate: $109.05/hr (W2)

About the Role

We are looking for a highly skilled Senior AWS Cloud Platform Engineer to support a large-scale enterprise cloud environment. This is a hands-on technical role focused on AWS infrastructure engineering, cloud migration, automation, platform support, troubleshooting, and production operations.

This is not a people-management position. The ideal candidate is a strong individual contributor with deep AWS expertise who enjoys solving complex technical issues, supporting mission-critical production environments, and implementing cloud-native solutions at scale.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design, deploy, and support AWS cloud infrastructure in production environments.
  • Perform cloud migrations, modernization efforts, and application onboarding to AWS.
  • Troubleshoot complex infrastructure, networking, performance, and application issues.
  • Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, CloudFormation, and AWS CDK.
  • Develop automation solutions using Python, Ansible, and AWS-native services.
  • Support Kubernetes and containerized workloads running in AWS.
  • Monitor system health, performance, reliability, and security across cloud platforms.
  • Conduct root cause analysis and implement long-term solutions for recurring issues.
  • Collaborate with development, security, and infrastructure teams to improve platform stability and operational efficiency.
  • Support CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices to streamline deployments and operations.
Required Qualifications
  • 8+ years of IT infrastructure, systems engineering, cloud engineering, or DevOps experience.
  • 5+ years of hands-on AWS experience supporting production environments.
  • Strong experience with AWS services including:
    • EC2
    • VPC
    • IAM
    • S3
    • RDS
    • Lambda
    • CloudWatch
    • CloudTrail
    • EKS
    • Direct Connect
  • Expertise with Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS CDK, and Ansible.
  • Strong Python and Linux/Bash scripting experience.
  • Experience supporting and troubleshooting Kubernetes environments.
  • Experience with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, Git, Bitbucket, and Artifactory.
  • AWS Certification preferred (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, or similar).
Preferred Skills
  • Experience with Amazon EKS, ECS, and Docker.
  • Background in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) or production operations.
  • Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Datadog, New Relic, AppDynamics, or Jaeger.
  • Understanding of cloud-native architectures, microservices, and container platforms.
  • Exposure to AWS AI/ML services such as SageMaker or Bedrock.
Ideal Candidate

We''re looking for a technical AWS expert who thrives in production environments and enjoys:

  • Troubleshooting complex cloud infrastructure issues.
  • Supporting highly available enterprise platforms.
  • Driving automation and operational excellence.
  • Working hands-on with AWS services, Kubernetes, Linux, and Infrastructure as Code.
  • Supporting cloud migration and modernization projects from planning through implementation.

If you''re passionate about AWS, automation, cloud operations, and solving challenging technical problems, we''d love to hear from you.
