AWS Engineer / Systems Administrator

We are seeking an AWS Engineer / Systems Administrator to help maintain and improve a broad, production cloud environment supporting our web properties, public-facing APIs, and business systems. This is an intermediate-to-senior role responsible for the security, reliability, and ongoing optimization of our AWS infrastructure. The ideal candidate brings strong, hands-on operational experience across common AWS services and a disciplined approach to security and day-to-day operations. Experience supporting a manufacturing environment is a plus, as some responsibilities involve connecting business systems to shop-floor operations.

This is an on-site position. The selected candidate is required to work full-time in our office; remote and hybrid arrangements are not available for this role.

What You’ll Do

•     Design, manage, and troubleshoot VPC networking, including subnetting, security groups, and network isolation.

•     Administer managed relational databases (RDS) and a small DynamoDB table used for API key validation.

•     Develop and maintain serverless application logic using AWS Lambda.

•     Manage EC2 instances hosting the Laravel-based application API.

•     Configure and maintain load balancers (ELB / ALB / NLB), including redirect-only configurations.

•     Rationalize and maintain ECS (Fargate) workloads, including identifying and decommissioning orphaned resources.

•     Administer Lightsail VPS hosting environments.

•     Own the full SSL/TLS certificate lifecycle through ACM, including prompt remediation of expired, in-use certificates.

•     Manage public-facing APIs through API Gateway, including read-only partner integrations.

•     Administer Route 53 DNS across multiple hosted zones.

•     Manage S3 buckets, including infrastructure and log storage.

•     Administer IAM users, AWS Identity Center (SSO) permission sets, and custom IAM roles (Lambda execution, CI/CD, certificate validation, and others).

•     Maintain the security group inventory and enforce least-privilege access practices.

•     Execute and safeguard root account access procedures, including hardware MFA (YubiKey).

•     Manage application secrets via SSM Parameter Store, with potential migration to AWS Secrets Manager.

•     Administer source-control repositories in AWS CodeCommit.

•     Monitor infrastructure health, respond to incidents, and maintain documentation, runbooks, and recovery procedures.

•     Support connectivity and data flow between business systems and manufacturing/shop-floor operations as needed.

What You Bring

•     3 years of hands-on experience administering core AWS services, including VPC/networking, RDS, Lambda, EC2, load balancers, Route 53, S3, IAM (users, SSO, and roles), API Gateway, ACM, and Parameter Store/Secrets Manager.

•     Strong systems administration background across Linux and/or Windows server environments.

•     Proven application of security best practices, including security group management, least-privilege IAM, certificate lifecycle management, and hardware MFA.

•     Solid networking fundamentals (DNS, TCP/IP, subnets, firewalls, VPNs).

•     Strong SQL proficiency for database administration, query development, and troubleshooting.

•     Experience designing, securing, and integrating APIs.

•     Experience supporting production environments with on-call responsibilities and a strong sense of operational ownership.

Qualifications

•     Experience supporting a manufacturing environment, including connecting equipment or shop-floor systems to IT systems and networks.

•     Familiarity with ECS/Fargate and container-based workflows.

•     Experience with CI/CD pipelines and source-control administration.

•     Experience with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform or CloudFormation).

•     AWS certification (e.g., Solutions Architect Associate, SysOps Administrator, or higher).
