Migration: Oversee and execute the migration of on-premises workloads and existing applications to both AWS and Azure platforms, including configuring hybrid connectivity. Containerization & Serverless: Deploy and manage containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes (e.g., AWS EKS, Azure AKS) and implement serverless solutions (e.g., AWS Lambda, Azure Functions) to optimize performance and cost. Automation and DevOps Integrations: CI/CD Pipelines: Build integrations with Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD). Scripting and Automation: Write and maintain automation scripts using languages such as Python, PowerShell, or Bash to streamline operational tasks and reduce manual effort. SQL Optimization: Assist clients with advanced SQL issues, suggest database optimizations, and offer advanced guidance to better utilize SQL environments. Configuration Management: Utilize configuration management tools to manage and maintain operating systems and applications within the cloud environment. Security, Monitoring, and Cost Optimization: Cloud Security: Implement and manage robust security policies, including Identity and Access Management, encryption, and compliance controls across both cloud providers. Monitoring and Logging: Configure and manage comprehensive monitoring, alerting, and logging solutions using platform-native tools (e.g., AWS CloudWatch, Azure Monitor) and third-party tools (e.g., Datadog, Splunk) to ensure continuous operational health. Cost Management: Continuously monitor and analyze cloud spending, recommending and implementing optimization strategies (e.g., resource right-sizing, reserved instances, storage tiering) to ensure cost-efficiency. Incident Response: Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation to respond to, troubleshoot, and resolve critical incidents in a timely manner. What You Have Done Required Qualifications Experience: 3-5+ years of hands-on experience as a Cloud Engineer or similar role. Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience). AWS Familiarity: Proven experience designing and managing core AWS services. Azure Expertise: Proven experience designing and managing core Azure services (Virtual Network, Virtual Machines, etc.). Scripting: Proficiency in at least one scripting language (Python preferred). SQL Expertise: Proven experience designing and managing SQL Databases, SQL installations, and advanced SQL troubleshooting. Networking: Solid understanding of networking concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, VPNs, firewalls, load balancing). Preferred Qualifications Certifications: Active professional-level certifications for both platforms with an emphasis on multi-cloud. Containers: Experience with Docker and Kubernetes (EKS, AKS). Operating Systems: Proficient in administering both Linux and Windows operating systems.
