We’re looking for a Senior AWS Cloud Engineer / Architect to lead a critical cloud hardening and resilience project. You’ll take an existing AWS environment and transform it into a secure, highly available, production-grade platform — implementing best-in-class backup, failover, disaster recovery, and security controls.
This is a hands-on delivery role with architectural ownership.
What You’ll Be Doing
Design and implement backup & disaster recovery strategy (RTO/RPO defined)
Build multi-AZ, highly available architectures with automated failover
Implement AWS Network Firewall & WAF for full perimeter security
Harden environments with least privilege IAM, MFA, and access controls
Set up CloudWatch, CloudTrail & VPC Flow Logs for monitoring and audit
Deliver Infrastructure as Code (Terraform / CloudFormation / scripts)
Create runbooks, architecture diagrams, and DR procedures
Execute testing & validation (failover, backup restore, DR simulation)
Key Requirements
We’re targeting experienced contractors who can hit the ground running:
Core Skills
Strong hands-on AWS experience (5+ years)
Proven experience with:
High availability & failover design
Backup, replication & disaster recovery
AWS networking & security architecture
Deep understanding of:
IAM (RBAC, least privilege, MFA)
CloudWatch, CloudTrail, logging & monitoring
Experience implementing:
AWS WAF & Network Firewall (or similar)
Secure VPC design (segmentation, NACLs, security groups)
Technical Tools
Infrastructure as Code (Terraform / CloudFormation preferred)
AWS services: EC2, RDS/SQL, EBS, ELB, VPC
Bonus
Experience in security-focused or regulated environments
Strong documentation & stakeholder communication skills
By the end of the contract, you will have delivered:
A fully hardened AWS environment
Tested and validated failover & DR processes
Complete monitoring, alerting, and security controls
Clear documentation and runbooks for ongoing operations
