- Integrate Terraform into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or AWS CodePipeline) with automated plan, validate, and apply workflows
- Implement security and compliance controls: least-privilege IAM, encryption, security groups, KMS, and policy-as-code (Sentinel, OPA, or Checkov)
- Monitor and optimize infrastructure for performance, availability, and cost
- Manage multi-account AWS environments (AWS Organizations, Control Tower, SCPs)
- Detect and remediate configuration drift, and support Terraform version and provider upgrades
- Troubleshoot infrastructure issues and participate in incident response
- Document architecture, standards, and runbooks; mentor junior engineers

- Strong working knowledge of core AWS services (networking, compute, storage, databases, IAM)
- Solid understanding of AWS networking: VPC design, subnets, NAT, Transit Gateway, VPC peering, and VPN/Direct Connect
- Experience writing modular, DRY Terraform code (variables, outputs, locals, data sources, for each, dynamic blocks)
- Proficiency with Git and branching/review workflows
- Experience with CI/CD tooling and pipeline automation
- Scripting skills in Bash, Python, or similar
- Understanding of cloud security best practices and the AWS Well-Architected Framework
