Experience

4+ years in AWS support, application support, Terraform, or a similar cross-stack run-state role

Work Location

Bangalore / Hyderabad, India (Remote)

Key Platforms

AWS services, Terraform, React / JavaScript, CI/CD and observability tooling

Role profile

Hands-on blended support engineer who can troubleshoot across infrastructure, application, API, and UI layers in an AWS-based setting.

AWS operations, Terraform updates, React / JavaScript issue triage, incident management, and minor enhancements.

Best fit

A cross-functional support engineer, not a pure front-end developer and not a pure cloud engineer.

Role Summary

As an AWS Platform & Application Support Engineer, you will support AWS-hosted applications and platform component. The role requires enough breadth to read and update Terraform, troubleshoot React or JavaScript-based components, understand AWS services and dependencies, and operate within incident, change, release, and knowledge-management processes. We are looking for people who can work across layers, learn quickly, and drive issues forward rather than waiting for perfect direction.

Key Responsibilities

1. Cross-stack troubleshooting and incident support





- Support and troubleshoot AWS-hosted applications and platform components across development, test, and production environments.
- Investigate incidents using logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, browser and network debugging, and ticket history to restore service and identify likely causes.
- Trace issues across UI, API, cloud infrastructure, and observability tooling with a structured, evidence-based approach.

2. Terraform and cloud operations

- Read, update, validate, and support Terraform-based infrastructure and configuration changes using established change controls.
- Support AWS operational activities across services such as IAM, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, S3, and relevant compute or container services.
- Participate in post-change validation, rollback preparation, and operational-readiness checks for low-risk changes and minor enhancements.

3. Application and integration support

- Troubleshoot React / JavaScript or TypeScript-based user-interface issues, API integration problems, and user-facing defects.
- Work with platform and development teams to isolate whether issues are rooted in infrastructure, code, configuration, or integration behavior.
- Support minor enhancements and low-risk fixes within agreed boundaries and established governance processes.

4.



Documentation, transition, and stakeholder coordination

- Create and maintain runbooks, support documentation, architecture notes, and knowledge articles.
- Participate in transition and ongoing KT activities to clarify ownership, dependencies, escalation paths, and standard support procedures.
- Work across platform, application, and business teams to reduce repeat incidents and improve support readiness.
