Work closely with the software engineering team to standardize development environments and streamline local-to-production workflows
Enforce the principle of least privilege across all AWS IAM policies, roles, and user access.
Implement robust logging, monitoring, and alerting frameworks (e.g., AWS CloudTrail, CloudWatch, GuardDuty) to proactively detect and mitigate security threats.
Maintain infrastructure configurations to meet relevant compliance standards ( HIPAA)
Requirements:
AWS Experience: 4+ years of hands-on experience with core AWS services (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, ECS/EKS, IAM, VPC).
Infrastructure as Code: Experience with Terraform (preferred), AWS CloudFormation, or AWS CDK.
Experience with Github Actions
Security & Compliance: Strong understanding of cloud security best practices (AWS Well-Architected Framework), encryption (KMS, TLS), and secret management (AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault).
