Senior AWS Dev Ops / Platform Engineer

We are seeking a Senior AWS Dev Ops / Platform Engineer to design, automate, and operate secure self-service AWS platform capabilities for development teams. This role will own the foundation for governed multi‑account provisioning, federated access, reusable Infrastructure as Code templates, and Git‑based promotion workflows that move validated workloads across controlled environments. The ideal candidate has hands‑on experience with AWS Control Tower, AWS Organizations, deep Terraform and Cloud Formation‑based IaC implementation, identity federation, service control policies, CI/CD automation, centralized logging, and cost governance in large‑scale engineering environments.

Role

Summary

This role is responsible for building governed AWS platform capabilities that allow application and engineering teams to request, receive, use, and retire secure cloud accounts and environments with minimal manual cloud‑engineering involvement. The engineer will combine AWS Control Tower, AWS Organizations, Account Factory for Terraform or an equivalent account‑vending workflow, federated identity, SCP‑based guardrails, reusable IaC modules, and automated delivery pipelines to create a scalable platform service.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design, build, and operate organizational units and account‑vending automation so standard cloud environment requests can be fulfilled without manual cloud‑engineering work.
  • Implement organization‑level guardrails, including SCPs that block unacceptable actions, enforce region restrictions, and enable required logging and security services by default during account creation.
  • Build and enforce per‑account cost controls, including budgets, actual and forecasted spend alerts, and automated remediation paths such as notification, access restriction, quarantine, and cleanup.
  • Ensure each account or environment is isolated by account, organizational unit, and network boundary from controlled environments and corporate networks, with no default transitive trust.
  • Partner with the identity team to design federated access patterns and short‑lived role assumption models that eliminate the need for long‑lived IAM users.
  • Own and maintain the Terraform, Cloud Formation, and CDK module/template library that developers use for EKS, databases, queues, serverless services, and other common application patterns.
  • Build and maintain delivery pipelines that promote validated infrastructure and application changes through Git review, automated validation, and environment‑scoped deployment roles.
  • Prevent direct console changes in staging and production by enforcing approved pipeline‑based promotion and deployment workflows.
  • Instrument centralized logging and audit trails from the first day of each account's lifecycle, including account creation records, API audit trails, and security findings.
  • Define and automate lifecycle policies for account and environment expiration, extension, decommissioning, and cleanup in a governed multi‑team operating model.
What You'll Build
  • An AWS Control Tower landing zone with governed organizational units and automated account vending, implemented through Account Factory for Terraform or an equivalent AWS Organizations‑based workflow.
