    • Implement and maintain automated deployment pipelines, infrastructure as code (IaC), and configuration management tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible) to streamline provisioning and management of cloud resources.

  • Security and Compliance
    • Implement and enforce cloud security best practices, including identity and access management (IAM), data encryption, network security, and compliance with industry regulations (e.g., GDPR, SEC).
    • Collaborate with IT security teams to conduct regular security assessments, vulnerability scans, and penetration tests of cloud environments, and implement remediation measures as needed.
  • Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
    • Design and implement disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity (BC) solutions for cloud-based systems, including backup and restore procedures, failover configurations, and multi-region deployments.
  • Technical Guidance and Mentorship
    • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior cloud engineers and other IT staff, fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation.
  • Documentation and Alignment
    • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to document technical architectures, standards, and best practices for cloud computing, and ensure alignment with enterprise IT strategies and objectives.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
  • Proven experience (3 years) as a cloud engineer, solutions architect, or similar role, with hands-on experience designing, deploying, and managing cloud infrastructure in AWS, Azure, or GCP.
  • Strong understanding of cloud computing concepts, architectures, and best practices, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) models.
  • Proficiency in scripting and automation using languages such as Python, PowerShell, or Bash, and experience with infrastructure as code (IaC) tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.
  • Experience with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker) and container orchestration platforms (e.g., Kubernetes) in cloud environments.
  • Familiarity with DevOps practices, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and related tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or CircleCI.
  • Strong understanding of networking concepts, including virtual private clouds (VPCs), subnets, routing, load balancing, and security groups in cloud environments.
  • Knowledge of cloud security best practices, identity and access management (IAM), encryption mechanisms, and regulatory compliance requirements in financial services (e.g., SEC, GDPR).
