Role Overview

Solutionara is seeking a Senior Cloud DevOps Engineer – AWS to design, build, automate, migrate, secure, and operate enterprise-grade AWS cloud environments.

This is a hands-on engineering role with strong ownership expectations. The successful candidate will be responsible for building AWS infrastructure from the ground up, implementing Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD automation, supporting application and data migration to AWS, and ensuring cloud environments are secure, resilient, observable, scalable, and production-ready.

The role requires someone who can independently own complex Cloud/DevOps workstreams while collaborating with Solution Architects, application teams, data engineers, security teams, and project leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, configure, and maintain production-grade AWS infrastructure.

• Build AWS environments from the ground up using services such as VPC, EC2, IAM, S3, RDS, Route 53, CloudFront, ELB/ALB, Auto Scaling, CloudWatch, Lambda, ECS/EKS, and related services.

• Design secure network architectures including subnets, routing, security groups, NACLs, NAT gateways, VPC endpoints, VPNs, and connectivity patterns.

• Implement and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and/or AWS CloudFormation.

• Build reusable Terraform modules and automate infrastructure provisioning across development, test, staging, and production environments.

• Design, implement, and optimize CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, AWS CodePipeline, or equivalent platforms.

• Implement automated build, test, security scanning, deployment, rollback, and release processes.

• Deploy and operate containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes/EKS.

• Support migration of applications, infrastructure, databases, and data from on-premises or other environments to AWS.

• Participate in migration discovery, dependency assessment, migration planning, cutover, validation, and post-migration stabilization.

• Implement AWS security best practices including IAM policies and roles, least-privilege access, encryption, secrets management, logging, vulnerability management, and security monitoring.

• Establish monitoring, logging, alerting, and observability using CloudWatch and relevant enterprise monitoring tools.

• Troubleshoot complex infrastructure, deployment, network, performance, and production issues.

• Design for high availability, scalability, backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity.

• Identify cloud cost optimization opportunities and support effective AWS resource utilization.

• Perform root cause analysis for production incidents and implement corrective and preventive actions.

• Maintain architecture diagrams, infrastructure documentation, runbooks, deployment procedures, and operational documentation.

• Participate in technical design reviews and proactively identify infrastructure, security, migration, and operational risks.

• Mentor junior Cloud/DevOps engineers and contribute to engineering standards and reusable automation.

• Take ownership of assigned workstreams from technical design through implementation, production deployment, and stabilization.
