Project descriptionThe project is for one of the world's famous science and technology companies in pharmaceutical industry, supporting initiatives in AWS, AI and data engineering, with plans to launch over 20 additional initiatives in the future.

We are seeking a highly skilled Cloud Engineer to lead the infrastructure design, deployment, and operations of the AI agent orchestration platform on AWS. This role is responsible for building and managing a Kubernetes-native, enterprise-grade platform that supports scalable AI agent workloads across development, QA, and production environments.

Responsibilities

AWS Infrastructure & Architecture. Design, provision, and manage AWS infrastructure using Terraform, aligned with the AWS Well-Architected Framework. Core services include: Amazon EKS, VPC, IAM, Application Load Balancer (ALB), Route 53, AWS Certificate Manager (ACM), Kubernetes (EKS)

Platform Operations: Own and operate EKS clusters end-to-end; managed node group lifecycle management: Karpenter-based autoscaling; cluster add-on lifecycle upgrades; IRSA (IAM Roles for Service Accounts) configuration; multi-AZ high availability and resilience.

CI/CD & GitOps: Build and maintain automated deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions, ArgoCD (GitOps); enable multi-environment deployments: Dev QA Production; implement release strategies: Blue/Green deployments, Canary releases.

Security & Compliance: Integrate AWS-native security and governance controls: AWS WAF, GuardDuty, Security Hub, KMS (encryption), Secrets Manager, External Secrets Operator; enforce policy controls using OPA / Kyverno (admission controllers).





Observability & Monitoring: Implement and manage observability stack: Amazon Managed Prometheus, Amazon Managed Grafana, CloudWatch Container Insights, AWS X-Ray (distributed tracing).

AI/ML Integration: Leverage AWS AI/ML services to support agent orchestration: Amazon Bedrock (model inference, agent APIs), SageMaker (model hosting, endpoints), Comprehend (NLP, PII detection).

Cost Optimization (FinOps): Implement cost-efficient architecture practices: Spot Instances, Savings Plans, Karpenter bin-packing strategies, scheduled scale-to-zero for non-production environments.

Platform & Engineering Collaboration: Partner with platform and ML teams to onboard new AI agent workloads, integrate MCP servers and execution frameworks, support extensibility of the agent ecosystem.
