About the Role

We are looking for a Senior AWS Platform Engineer with 8+ years of hands-on cloud and platform engineering experience to join a high-impact team delivering and operating enterprise-grade AWS infrastructure. This is a deeply technical individual contributor role — not an architecture advisory or management position. You will design, build, and operate the foundational platform capabilities that engineering teams depend on: infrastructure automation, container platforms, CI/CD pipelines, security controls, and cloud-native APIs.

This role is based in Current Jersey with hybrid onsite expectations.

Key Responsibilities

AWS Platform Architecture & Operations
- Design, deploy, and operate production AWS environments at scale — including compute (EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda), storage (S3, EBS, EFS), networking (VPC, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, Route53), and identity (IAM,



AWS SSO, SCPs).
- Architect and maintain multi-account AWS environments using AWS Organizations, Control Tower, and account vending pipelines — including OU structure, SCP design, guardrail enforcement, and account baseline automation.
- Implement and govern cloud security controls at scale — IAM least-privilege design, permission boundaries, VPC security architecture, KMS key management, Secrets Manager, Security Hub, GuardDuty, AWS Config rules, and CloudTrail governance.
- Own cost governance for the AWS platform — implementing tagging policies, cost allocation structures, budget alerting, rightsizing analysis using Compute Optimizer, and Savings Plans / Reserved Instance strategy. Build FinOps reporting tooling where native tooling falls short.
- Maintain deep operational familiarity with AWS networking — including VPC design, Transit Gateway routing, NAT Gateway, PrivateLink, DNS architectur
