Job Overview

We are seeking an experienced Cloud Engineer skilled in both AWS and Azure environments. In this role, you will design, build, manage and optimize multi-cloud infrastructure while maintaining strict adherence to cybersecurity and data protection standards.

You will proactively drive cost efficiencies, optimize resource utilization and recommend system improvements to support continuous business growth.

Key Responsibilities
1. Multi-Cloud Resource Creation & Management (AWS & Azure)

• Provision, configure and manage cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform, Cloud Formation, Azure ARM/Bicep).

• Maintain high availability, scalability and disaster recovery strategies across virtual machines, containerized workloads (EKS, AKS, ECS), networking components (VPCs, VNets) and serverless architectures.

• Automate deployment pipelines and routine operations using standard Dev Ops methodologies.

2. Cost Optimization & Resource Usage Tuning

• Analyze cloud spending across AWS and Azure to identify cost-reduction opportunities.

• Implement rightsizing policies, auto-scaling, Reserved Instances (RIs), Savings Plans and Spot instances to eliminate waste.

• Monitor resource utilization metrics to optimize workload performance while avoiding over-provisioning.

• Establish budget alerts, cost allocation tags and chargeback/showback mechanisms for departments.

3. Security Management, Implementations & Cyber Security





• Implement robust identity and access management (IAM) controls using least-privilege principles across AWS IAM and Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD).

• Enforce perimeter and network security using firewalls, Security Groups, WAF (Web Application Firewall) and Zero Trust network configurations.

• Deploy and manage threat detection and monitoring solutions (e.g., AWS Guard Duty, Security Hub, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Sentinel).

• Conduct vulnerability scanning, assist with compliance audits (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001) and remediate identified security gaps quickly.

4. Data Security & Governance

• Implement data encryption both at rest (AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault) and in transit (TLS/SSL).

• Configure data loss prevention (DLP) controls, secure storage buckets/containers and access policies for sensitive data.

• Establish data backup, retention and disaster recovery strategies aligned with enterprise data governance standards.

5. Continuous Improvement & Architecture Recommendations

• Continuously evaluate emerging cloud technology, recommending upgrades and architectural enhancements.

• Participate in architectural reviews to suggest resilience, efficiency and security improvements for existing systems.

• Document system architecture, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and operational runbooks.

Required Qualifications & Experience

Experience:



5–6 years of hands-on experience managing enterprise cloud environments across both AWS and Azure.

Technical Skills:

• Deep knowledge of core AWS services (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, IAM, Cloud Watch, VPC) and Azure services (VMs, Blob Storage, Azure SQL, Functions, Entra ID, VNets).

• Hands-on proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep or Cloud Formation).

• Familiarity with containerization tools (Docker, Kubernetes, EKS/AKS).

• Experience with cloud cost management and governance tools (AWS Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Management, Cloud Health or Kubecost).

• Strong understanding of cloud cybersecurity frameworks, data protection standards and network security protocols.

Preferred Certifications

• AWS Certified Solutions Architect / Administrator

• Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate / Azure Security Engineer Associate
