• Establish and enforce AWS standards for account structure and environments, tagging, cost allocation and ownership, security, access control, and auditability.
• Implement secure automation using IAM roles, OIDC, and least privilege access.
• Collaborate with application and platform teams to onboard workloads to standardized IaC tooling.
• Produce and maintain documentation, runbooks, and onboarding guides.

• 5+ years of hands‑on Terraform experience in production AWS environments.
• Advanced experience with module design, reuse, and versioning; remote state using S3 and Dynamo
  
  DB; multi‑account and multi‑environment deployments; standards enforcement via validation and lifecycle rules.
• Experience supporting centralized Terraform modules consumed by many teams.
• Strong practical experience with AWS Organizations, SCPs, and multi‑account strategies; cross‑account IAM role design; account bootstrap/landing‑zone concepts.
• Hands‑on experience provisioning AWS services via Terraform (IAM, VPC, networking, EC2/Auto‑Scaling, EKS/ECS, S3, RDS, Cloud Watch, logging, KMS, encryption).
• Production experience using Spacelift (stack & dependency design, environment promotion & approvals, worker configuration, drift detection, scheduled runs) and integration with AWS IAM and Git Hub workflows.
• Experience designing and operating Rundeck jobs for AWS infrastructure operations; understanding of job security, RBAC, approvals, credential management, error handling, retries, notifications, and job‑as‑code patterns.
• Enterprise Git Hub experience (branch protection, CODEOWNERS, PR reviews, Git Hub Actions CI/CD, OIDC AWS auth) and strong Git Ops delivery models.
• Experience implementing least‑privilege IAM, secure secrets handling, approval workflows, separation of duties; ability to embed security and compliance into IaC pipelines; preference for regulated or risk‑sensitive environments.
