Job Description

1. Cloud Platform Deployment & Management 

  • Core Services: Deploy and manage fundamental services across at least one major cloud provider (e.g., AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP). 
  • Infrastructure Management: Provision and maintain core cloud services, including computer resources (VMs, serverless), storage solutions (object, block, file), networking components, and managed databases. 
  • Access Control: Assist in the administration and auditing of Identity & Access Management (IAM) policies, roles, and users to enforce the principle of least privilege. 

2. Cloud Networking & Security 

  • Virtual Networking: Configure and manage virtual networking resources such as VPC/VNet environments, subnets, secure VPNs, and internal/external load balancers. 
  • Security Implementation: Implement network security measures using native cloud firewalls, security groups/ACLs, and contribute to designing environments based on zero-trust models. 
  • Data Protection: Implement and manage data security practices, including data encryption (at rest and in transit) and key management. 
  • Compliance: Support efforts to ensure cloud environments comply with relevant frameworks (e.g., ISO, GDPR, HIPAA). 

3. Operating Systems & Modernization 

  • System Administration: Perform basic to intermediate administration and troubleshooting of both Linux (strongly preferred) and Windows operating systems within the cloud environment. 
  • Containerization: Work with containers (Docker) and utilize cloud-native or open-source orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, ECS, AKS, GKE) for application deployment. 
  • Virtualization: Maintain foundational understanding of traditional virtualization technologies (VMware, Hyper-V, etc.) and their role in hybrid environments. 

4. Scripting & Automation (DevOps) 

  • Scripting: Write, test, and maintain scripts using languages such as Python, Bash, and PowerShell to automate repetitive operational tasks. 
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Utilize IaC tools like Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Ansible, or Pulumi to provision, modify, and manage infrastructure in a predictable and repeatable manner. 
  • CI/CD Support: Assist in building and maintaining CI/CD pipeline tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) to automate application release and deployment processes. 

Requirements

  • 2–4 years of demonstrated experience in IT infrastructure, system administration, or cloud computing. 
  • Proven hands-on experience with configuration and deployment in AWS, Azure, or GCP. 
  • Practical experience with scripting for automation (Python, Bash, or PowerShell). 
  • Solid understanding of TCP/IP networking fundamentals and cloud security best practices. 
  • Familiarity with container and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
