Senior AWS Infrastructure Engineer

Job Title: Senior AWS Infrastructure Engineer

Notice Period: Immediate/Serving NP

Experience Required: 5+years

Job Location: Pune/Remote

Accelirate is hiring a Senior AWS Infrastructure Engineer to own the cloud and container platform backbone supporting our automation delivery accounts, including our Amazon enterprise account. This is a hands-on, largely autonomous role spanning AWS architecture, Kubernetes administration, and infrastructure-as-code. We need someone who combines deep technical range with strong follow-through and clear, proactive client communication — this role has a direct line of sight to enterprise client infrastructure and needs to be trusted to run independently with minimal oversight.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, deploy, and maintain AWS infrastructure (EC2, EKS, VPC, IAM, S3, Lambda, RDS, CloudWatch, and related services) supporting automation and integration workloads.
• Administer and troubleshoot Kubernetes clusters (Amazon EKS) — deployments, autoscaling, networking, and security configuration.
• Build and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform preferred; CloudFormation acceptable) for repeatable, auditable environments.
• Own infrastructure reliability and monitoring for assigned client environments; identify and resolve issues proactively rather than waiting to be asked.
• Partner directly with client stakeholders and the Accelirate delivery team to translate infrastructure needs into secure, cost-efficient designs.
• Support CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices for automation deployments.
• Document architecture decisions, runbooks, and operational procedures for the team.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on AWS infrastructure / DevOps experience in production environments.
• Strong production experience administering Kubernetes (Amazon EKS preferred) — deployments, Helm, networking, security.
• Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code, ideally Terraform.
• Solid scripting ability (Python, Bash, or similar) for automation and operational tooling.
• Experience with CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar).
• Strong written and verbal English communication — this role works directly with US-based enterprise clients.
• A track record of reliability and independent ownership: comfortable resolving ambiguous problems with minimal oversight.

Preferred Qualifications

• AWS certification (Solutions Architect – Associate/Professional, or DevOps Engineer – Professional).
• Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA).
• Working knowledge of RPA/automation platforms (UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Power Automate, AWS Quick Suite) is a plus.
• Exposure to Quick Suite and Agentic AI platforms is a plus. Agent Core, Bedrock
• Prior consulting or professional-services experience supporting multiple concurrent clients.
