5 or more years of experience required in the following areas:

Designs maintains and optimizes hybrid platforms that bridge on premises infrastructure with AWS cloud services aligning with the shift toward cloud centric operations:

• Designing and administering AWS environments (EC2 VPC IAM S3) to support enterprise workloads.

• Creating hybrid workload patterns where identity authentication and application services function seamlessly across cloud and on premises systems.

• Migrating legacy systems to AWS including developing modernization roadmaps and workload readiness assessments.

• Documenting system architectures and producing AWS architecture diagrams showing network topology dependencies and service interactions.

Provides senior tier support for issues escalated from Service Desk Applications Networking or automation teams:

• Diagnosing complex AWS identity network or compute issues affecting dependent applications.

• Documenting troubleshooting workflows root causes and long term mitigation strategies.

• Guiding teams through hybrid dependency failures such as directory sync disruptions routing conflicts or misconfigured IAM policies.
