Our Client is expanding its IT Platform team to support our mission of Autonomous Mobility.

This role executes day-to-day provisioning, automation, and support work that keeps our Client''s AWS platform running securely and reliably.
In this role, you will:
\- Provision and manage AWS accounts and tenant structures, including IAM users/roles, cross-account access, and SSO group setup, following established playbooks

\- Build and configure AWS networking resources (VPCs, subnets, VPC peering, routing) based on team designs
\- Support secrets management workflows (AWS Secrets Manager, Vault) for integrations with third-party platforms (e.g., Mulesoft)
\- Apply security and governance guardrails to provisioned resources (least-privilege IAM, encryption, AMI/container compliance checks)
\- Troubleshoot and resolve day-to-day AWS support tickets across compute, storage, and networking for cross-functional customers (engineering tools, HPC/simulation workloads, mission control systems, data platform, manufacturing systems)
\- Follow and help maintain runbooks/playbooks for recurring provisioning and operational tasks
\- Escalate architectural or ambiguous issues to senior team members while owning execution of well-defined requests
Qualifications:
\- 5+ years of experience
\- Hands-on experience with AWS in a production environment — compute, storage, networking, and IAM
\- Experience with Infrastructure as Code, ideally Terraform, including writing and modifying modules
\- Working knowledge of AWS networking fundamentals (VPCs, subnets, routing, security groups)
\- Understanding of IAM and cloud security fundamentals (least privilege, encryption, secrets management)
\- Comfortable working from tickets, playbooks, and runbooks, and following documented processes accurately
\- Good written and verbal communication skills; able to work with engineers and business stakeholders to clarify requirements
\- Ability to work independently on well-scoped tasks while knowing when to escalate
Bonus Qualifications:
\- Experience with Terraform Cloud, Spacelift, or similar centralized IaC platforms
\- Exposure to multi-account AWS environments (Landing Zones, Control Tower)
\- Experience with containerized workloads (Kubernetes/EKS)
\- Familiarity with monitoring/alerting tools (e.g., Grafana, CloudWatch)
\- Exposure to AI/ML or HPC cloud workloads
