AWS Admin

Roles & Responsibilities:

• AWS Infrastructure Management: Provision, configure, and maintain AWS services such as EC2, S3, IAM, VPC, Lambda, RDS, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and more.
  
• Monitoring & Incident Response: Set up monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions. Respond to and resolve infrastructure issues proactively.
  
• Security & IAM: Manage IAM roles, policies, and user access with a strong focus on security best practices and compliance requirements.
  
• Automation & Scripting: Automate routine tasks using scripting (Bash, Python) and AWS CLI/SDK.
  
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Use tools like Terraform or CloudFormation to manage and automate infrastructure deployments and changes.
  
• Cost Optimization: Monitor resource usage and implement cost -control strategies to optimize AWS spending.
  
• Backup & Disaster Recovery: Manage backup strategies and ensure systems are resilient and recoverable.
  
• Documentation: Maintain detailed and up -to -date documentation of AWS environments, standard operating procedures, and runbooks.
  

Qualifications & Skills

• 10+ years of hands -on AWS administration experience.

• Experience with scripting (Python, Bash, or PowerShell) and automation tooling.
  
• Proven expertise in using Terraform or CloudFormation.

• Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to resolve complex infrastructure issues independently.
  
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to work effectively with remote teams.
  
• Comfortable working during US Eastern Time zone hours.
  

Preferred Qualifications
