EngineeringSecurity Engineer

We are seeking a highly experienced AWS DevOps/Security Engineer Senior/Architect to design, build, secure, and operate enterprise-scale cloud environments. This role plays a critical part in supporting large-scale modernization and data migration initiatives through robust AWS infrastructure and platform engineering. You will oversee cloud architecture, networking, security, automation, CI/CD pipelines, and production operations across multiple environments. Working with modern infrastructure-as-code technologies, you will develop scalable, secure, and automated solutions while ensuring compliance and operational reliability. You will also drive cloud governance, cost optimization, observability, and disaster recovery strategies. This is an opportunity to take ownership of complex cloud engineering challenges within a highly technical, enterprise-focused environment.

In this role, you will lead the design, implementation, security, and operational management of AWS infrastructure while ensuring high availability, scalability, and compliance across enterprise environments. Your responsibilities will include:

Design, build, and operate AWS environments across development, testing, user acceptance testing (UAT), production, and disaster recovery (DR) stages.

Manage AWS accounts, service quotas, resource governance, tagging strategies, cost controls, and environment readiness.

Design and implement private VPC and spoke architectures, including subnetting, routing, Cloud WAN, VPC endpoints, PrivateLink, DNS, and private connectivity.

Coordinate integrations between AWS infrastructure and corporate networks, firewalls, Netskope, on-premises systems, and shared cloud networking services.

Build, configure, and maintain AWS services, including EC2, S3, RDS, MWAA, Lambda, ALB/NLB, Cognito, Route 53, Secrets Manager, and Systems Manager.

Design and manage IAM roles, trust relationships, permission policies, instance profiles, permission boundaries, and cross-account access.

Implement security controls covering KMS encryption, certificate management, S3 security, secrets management, vulnerability remediation, and regulatory compliance.

Develop infrastructure automation using Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, AWS CLI, Python, PowerShell, and Bash.

Build and maintain GitHub-based CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure provisioning and application deployments.

Implement automated validation, security scanning, policy checks, approval workflows, release controls, and rollback procedures.

Establish centralized monitoring and observability using CloudTrail, CloudWatch, VPC Flow Logs, AWS Config, SNS alerts, and operational dashboards.

Support AWS MWAA/Airflow environments, RDS PostgreSQL, S3 landing zones, bastion services, and private application access.

Troubleshoot complex infrastructure and application issues involving IAM, KMS, DNS, routing, firewalls, endpoints, Linux, EC2, databases, and managed AWS services.

Conduct architecture reviews, cost optimization initiatives, capacity planning, disaster recovery assessments, and production-readiness evaluations.

Develop and maintain architecture diagrams, operational procedures, support runbooks, compliance evidence, and recovery documentation.

Participate in production support, incident response, root-cause analysis, and continuous service improvement initiatives.
