  • Optimization & Cost Management: Optimize cloud infrastructure for cost-efficiency, monitor cloud resource usage, and provide recommendations on how to reduce costs without compromising performance.
  • Mentorship & Training: Provide mentorship to junior architects and engineers, guiding them on cloud architecture best practices, security policies, and the latest cloud technologies.
  • Documentation & Reporting: Create detailed documentation for cloud architectures, security configurations, and Rego policy enforcement. Prepare regular reports on system performance, security posture, and compliance status.

  • Experience with AWS cloud services and architecture best practices.
  • Security:
  • Strong understanding of cloud security principles, identity and access management (IAM), network security, encryption, and key management.
  • Experience with security frameworks and regulations such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, NIST, etc.
  • Tools & Technologies:
  • Proficiency in using cloud-native and third-party tools for monitoring, logging, and security (e.g., Stackdriver, CloudTrail, Splunk).
