• Infrastructure Management: Provision and maintain core cloud services, including computer resources (VMs, serverless), storage solutions (object, block, file), networking components, and managed databases. 

• Access Control: Assist in the administration and auditing of Identity & Access Management (IAM) policies, roles, and users to enforce the principle of least privilege. 

2. Cloud Networking & Security 

• Virtual Networking: Configure and manage virtual networking resources such as VPC/VNet environments, subnets, secure VPNs, and internal/external load balancers. 

• Security Implementation: Implement network security measures using native cloud firewalls, security groups/ACLs, and contribute to designing environments based on zero-trust models. 

• Data Protection: Implement and manage data security practices, including data encryption (at rest and in transit) and key management. 

• Compliance: Support efforts to ensure cloud environments comply with relevant frameworks (e.g., ISO, GDPR, HIPAA).

• System Administration: Perform basic to intermediate administration and troubleshooting of both Linux (strongly preferred) and Windows operating systems within the cloud environment. 

• Containerization: Work with containers (Docker) and utilize cloud-native or open-source orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, ECS, AKS, GKE) for application deployment. 

• Virtualization: Maintain foundational understanding of traditional virtualization technologies (VMware, Hyper-V, etc.) and their role in hybrid environments. 

4. Scripting & Automation (DevOps) 

• Scripting: Write, test, and maintain scripts using languages such as Python, Bash, and PowerShell to automate repetitive operational tasks. 

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Utilize IaC tools like Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Ansible, or Pulumi to provision, modify, and manage infrastructure in a predictable and repeatable manner. 
• CI/CD Support: Assist in building and maintaining CI/CD pipeline tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) to automate application release and deployment processes. 

Requirements

• 2–4 years of demonstrated experience in IT infrastructure, system administration, or cloud computing. 

• Proven hands-on experience with configuration and deployment in AWS, Azure, or GCP. 

• Practical experience with scripting for automation (Python, Bash, or PowerShell).
