• Troubleshoot complex IAM, KMS, DNS, routing, firewall, endpoint, Linux, EC2, database, and managed-service issues.
• Perform architecture reviews, cost optimization, capacity planning, disaster recovery planning, and production-readiness assessments.
• Create architecture diagrams, operational procedures, support runbooks, compliance evidence, and recovery documentation.
• Participate in production support, incident response, root-cause analysis, and service improvement.

• Strong knowledge of AWS networking, IAM, KMS, S3, EC2, RDS, Lambda, CloudWatch, Systems Manager, and private service connectivity.
