This role is ideal for someone early in their cloud career who wants hands-on experience with modern AWS services, Infrastructure-as-Code, and DevOps tooling.
Key Responsibilities
- Support and maintain AWS infrastructure across services such as Lambda, API Gateway, S3, RDS, CloudFront, CodePipeline, EC2 and Elastic Beanstalk, IAM, and Route53.
- Work with Terraform and scripting tools to deploy, configure, and update cloud resources.
- Assist in automating operational tasks and improving CI/CD pipelines.
- Collaborate daily with development and release teams to troubleshoot issues and enable smooth deployments.
- Help review architecture, cost optimization, and security considerations.
- Write basic scripts in Bash or Python to support infrastructure automation.
- Use AI-assisted tools and workflows to accelerate troubleshooting, solution design, and documentation.
- Participate in on-call or incident response rotations as needed.
Required Experience & Skills
- 1–2 years of experience working with AWS or hands-on cloud projects (professional or personal).
- Familiarity with major AWS services, especially serverless (Lambda, API Gateway), storage (S3), compute (Elastic Beanstalk), networking (Route53), and identity (IAM).
- Basic Linux administration knowledge.
- Experience with or willingness to learn Terraform.
- Ability to write and understand small Bash or Python scripts.
- Strong problem-solving skills and a mindset that embraces using AI as a tool to accelerate learning and delivery.
- Strong communication skills and comfort working cross-functionally with engineering teams.
- AWS certifications are a plus, but practical experience is more important.
Nice to Have

- Experience with monitoring/observability tools.
- Understanding of cloud security best practices.
What Success Looks Like in the First 6–12 Months
- Develops a strong understanding of our AWS environment and the relationships between key infrastructure services.
- Routine cloud operations, deployments, and break/fix tasks are handled reliably with minimal oversight.
- Legacy configurations, unused resources, and operational debt are identified and steadily reduced through cleanup and optimization work.
- Contribute to cost savings and right-sizing discussions.
- Documentation gaps shrink as runbooks, diagrams, and workflow guides are created or improved.
- Release, dev, and cloud workflows see fewer blockers thanks to better automation, scripting, and proactive issue discovery.
- The engineer becomes a dependable backup for the existing Cloud Engineer, expanding team capacity and reducing single-points-of-failure.
Why You’ll Love Working With Us
- Fully remote, flexible environment.
- Opportunity to grow into a mid-level engineer quickly by working closely with senior cloud leadership.
- Modern AWS ecosystem with real ownership and impact.
- Supportive culture focused on learning, experimentation, and practical skill-building.
