  • Minimum of 7 years of experience in IT infrastructure and cloud computing, with at least 5 years specifically focused on AWS architecture.
  • Proven experience designing and deploying complex, scalable, and highly available solutions on AWS.
  • In-depth knowledge of core AWS services (EC2, S3, VPC, RDS, Lambda, IAM, etc.).
  • Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Cloud Formation) and configuration management tools.
  • Familiarity with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Strong understanding of networking, security, and compliance in cloud environments.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • AWS Certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional) are highly desirable.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively in a remote, distributed team environment.
  • Experience working remotely and effectively managing distributed projects.
Benefits
  • This role offers a highly competitive salary, comprehensive health insurance, performance-based bonuses, and a generous allowance for professional development, including certifications and training.
