Corporate Functions Senior AWS Cloud Engineer – VP III Who We Are Looking For We are seeking a highly experienced, hands-on technology leader to serve as the Corporate Functions Senior AWS Cloud Engineer – VP III , responsible for designing, engineering, deploying, and supporting complex AWS-based applications and AI-enabled platforms across Corporate Functions Technology. This role is intended for a senior cloud engineer who can operate as a principal-level technical contributor with deep hands-on expertise across the AWS ecosystem. The successful candidate will be responsible for building secure, scalable, production-ready cloud solutions that support enterprise applications, intelligent assistants, AI-enabled workflows, automation, integrations, data services, and operationally resilient platforms. The ideal candidate has extensive experience deploying end-to-end applications into AWS, including networking, compute, application hosting, load balancing, security, data services, secrets management, observability, CI/CD, and production support. This individual must also have hands-on experience enabling AI capabilities within AWS, including Amazon Bedrock, AI service integrations, model endpoint connectivity, AI orchestration patterns, and secure deployment of AI-enabled applications. This is not a purely advisory or architecture-only role. The candidate must be able to actively engineer, configure, deploy, troubleshoot, automate, and support complex AWS environments while also guiding other engineers and development teams on cloud-native engineering best practices.

Why This Role Matters Corporate Functions is expanding the use of cloud-native technologies, AI-powered business capabilities, intelligent automation, and modern application platforms across HR, Legal, Audit, Compliance, Risk, Realty, and other business domains. This role will help establish the engineering foundation required to: • Deploy secure, scalable, and resilient applications into AWS. • Enable AI-powered applications and intelligent business workflows. • Support enterprise-grade architectures across application, data, integration, security, and observability layers. • Implement reusable AWS engineering patterns that accelerate delivery. • Improve cloud security, operational resilience, and production maturity. • Support modernization of legacy platforms into cloud-native and AI-enabled solutions. • Partner across application, architecture, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and business teams to deliver measurable business value.

This is a highly visible senior engineering role that will directly influence how Corporate Functions builds, deploys, and operates modern AWS and AI-enabled solutions.

2. End-to-End AWS Application Deployment • Deploy enterprise applications into AWS from infrastructure setup through production release. • Engineer complete application environments across: • VPC and network configuration • Private and application subnets • Load balancing • Compute services • Application hosting • Data services • Secrets and certificate management • Monitoring and alerts • Security controls • CI/CD automation

• Support backend application deployment patterns including Tomcat, Java services, APIs, microservices, containers, and serverless workloads. • Troubleshoot complex application, infrastructure, networking, and security issues. • Ensure applications are production-ready, operationally supportable, and aligned with enterprise standards.

3. Required AWS Platform Expertise Serve as a subject matter expert across core AWS services, including: • VPC • Subnets • Security Groups • Route 53 • Application Load Balancer • Auto Scaling Groups • EC2 • ECS • EKS • Lambda • API Gateway • EventBridge • Step Functions • RDS • Aurora • PostgreSQL • ElastiCache / Redis • S3 • Secrets Manager • Certificate Manager • CloudWatch • CloudTrail • IAM • Systems Manager • VPC Endpoints • PrivateLink
