  • The IT Team is seeking a candidate for a critical cloud/platform/systems specialist to Support senior resources.
  • Expectations include Leading infrastructure initiatives to modernize IT infrastructure and operations to enhance efficiency, scalability, and reliability across hybrid cloud environments.
  • This role supports enterprise modernization goals by providing support for modern approaches to hybrid-cloud administrative and engineering practices to eliminate expensive and inefficient legacy solutions, while improving operational efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and enabling scalable infrastructure solutions.
  • 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.
  • Ensures platform resilience by monitoring, optimizing, and maintaining cloud and on‑prem compute, storage, networking, and identity components:
  • - Eliminate single points of failure in designs patterns
  • - Provide backup, recovery, and DR to meet all RTO/RPO requirements.
  • - Implementing performance dashboards covering compute utilization, storage I/O, and network throughput across AWS and on‑prem.
  • - Conducting root‑cause analysis for performance issues and documenting remediation steps.
  • - Identifying cost optimization opportunities through instance rightsizing, storage tier adjustments, and lifecycle automation.
  • - Maintaining architecture diagrams, standards, IaC manifests, and operational procedures in version‑controlled environments.
  • - Preparing change impact statements for major infrastructure modifications.
  • - Creating release documentation for platform updates promoted through CI/CD pipelines. Ensuring consistency across platform standards, enforcement rules, and automation artifacts.
  • Works closely with automation specialist and other team members to ensure infrastructure deployments follow consistent, automated, and auditable patterns:

  • - Documenting provisioning workflows, configuration standards, and parameter usage for automated deployments.
  • - Supporting CI/CD infrastructure pipelines that promote test, staging, and production environments through automated checks.
  • - Collaborate with engineering and application teams to optimize workloads for hybrid cloud environments.
  • - Provide guidance on migration strategies, performance tuning, and cost optimization for hybrid-cloud deployments.
  • Maintain comprehensive documentation for hybrid cloud architecture, operational procedures, and automation workflows. Ensure documentation supports knowledge transfer and compliance audits.
  • Supports organizational security and compliance goals by implementing and documenting platform controls across cloud and on‑prem environments. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
  • - Enforcing AWS guardrails such as encryption, MFA, IAM role boundaries, and network segmentation.
  • - Producing audit evidence packages (configuration exports, pipeline logs, screenshots).
  • - Documenting platform hardening guidelines for compute, identity, and storage systems.
  • - Creating policy interpretation guides to clarify required platform configurations for other technical teams.
  • - Writing operational guides, onboarding materials, and “how‑to” documentation for AWS and hybrid operations.
  • - Delivering platform standards, architecture reference materials, and annotated diagrams explaining system interactions.
  • - Producing executive‑level briefings summarizing modernization progress and platform initiatives.
