About this role

This role architects, deploys, and manages a hybrid cloud environment with a focus on operational excellence, security, and automation. You will be responsible for maintaining critical on-premises infrastructure while leading the strategic migration of workloads to AWS.

Day-to-day work involves designing and managing AWS cloud infrastructure, including networking, compute, storage, databases, and security controls. You will also support on-premises VMware environments and plan migration strategies for moving applications and services to the cloud.

You will develop Infrastructure as Code templates using Terraform and AWS CloudFormation, and support CI/CD pipelines to automate provisioning and deployment. Collaboration with peers to implement hybrid cloud integrations like VPNs, Direct Connect, and identity federation is a key part of the role.

This position offers the opportunity to drive cloud adoption following well-architected frameworks and compliance guidelines (NCUA, FFIEC, NIST). You will continuously evaluate emerging cloud technologies to improve system performance, cost efficiency, and security posture.

Requirements

Minimum four years of experience in cloud infrastructure engineering, DevOps, or systems administration in hybrid environments.
Practical experience designing and managing AWS infrastructure components such as EC2, VPC, S3, IAM, RDS, Lambda, and CloudWatch.
Proven success supporting and optimizing on-premises virtualization platforms (VMware preferred) and related infrastructure.
Led or contributed to structured on-premises-to-cloud workload migrations, applying best practices for data integrity and cost-efficiency.
In-depth understanding of Microsoft 365 administration and Azure Active Directory (Entra ID), including identity synchronization and security configuration.
Strong proficiency with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform strongly preferred) and modular, reusable templates.
Solid knowledge of modern CI/CD practices.

Responsibilities

Design, deploy, and manage AWS cloud infrastructure, including networking, compute, storage, databases, and security controls.
Manage and support on-premises infrastructure, including VMware environments, Windows/Linux servers, and backup solutions.

Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates and automation scripts using Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or Azure Bicep/ARM templates.
Support and enhance CI/CD pipelines to automate provisioning, deployment, and configuration of cloud and hybrid resources.
Administer Microsoft 365 and Azure services, including Entra ID (Azure AD) and identity synchronization.
Implement and maintain hybrid cloud integrations, including VPNs, Direct Connect, and secure networking.
Build and manage monitoring, alerting, and logging solutions across both on-premises and cloud systems.

Benefits

Opportunity to drive cloud adoption following well-architected frameworks and security best practices.
Rotating on-call schedule with operational support for critical infrastructure incidents.
Access to emerging cloud and hybrid technologies for continuous system improvement.
Collaborative environment focused on operational excellence and automation.
