DevOps & Cloud Security Specialist to architect enterprise-grade AWS networking, implement strict IAM security boundaries (HIPAA/GDPR compliance), automate infrastructure via IaC, and maintain crystal-clear technical documentation.

1. Primary Must-Have Competencies (Core Priorities)

A. AWS Networking & VPC Topology (Top Priority)

• Advanced VPC Architecture: Mastery in designing multi-VPC topologies, isolated subnets, custom Route Tables, NAT Gateways, Transit Gateways, and Cross-Region VPC Peering.
• Private Network Security: Extensive experience using VPC Endpoints (Gateway & Interface/PrivateLink) to keep internal AWS traffic completely off the public internet.
• Traffic Ingestion & Edge Security: Expertise in AWS WAF (custom rules, bot control, rate limiting), API Gateway throttling, ALB configuration, and Route 53 global routing.

B. AWS Security, IAM Architecture & Compliance

• Enterprise IAM Governance: Expertise in AWS Organizations, IAM Identity Center (SSO), Permission Boundaries, Service Control Policies (SCPs), and temporary role assumption across multi-account setups.
• Data Protection & Key Management: Deep knowledge of AWS KMS (customer-managed keys, envelope encryption at rest and in transit) and AWS Secrets Manager.
• Audit & Compliance: Setting up centralized logging pipelines (CloudTrail, GuardDuty, AWS Config, CloudWatch Audit Logs) for strict HIPAA/GDPR compliance.

C. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Containerization

• Terraform / AWS CDK: Must write production-grade, modular IaC templates from scratch—enforcing network topology and security guardrails directly in code.
• Container Orchestration: Hands-on setup and management of AWS ECS (Fargate) or EKS (Kubernetes) and automated CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).

D. Architecture Documentation & Systems Mapping

• Technical Documentation: Ability to author clean, standardized architecture diagrams (e.g., C4 model, Draw.io, Lucidchart) and maintain comprehensive runbooks, incident response plans, and compliance documentation.

2. Secondary Competency (Strong Advantage, Not Mandatory)

• Backend Software Development: Hands-on experience or a background in writing/debugging backend code in Node.js, Python, or Go.
• Note: The primary responsibility is cloud infrastructure, security, and automation. However, the ability to read backend code, debug API bottlenecks, or assist developers with microservice integrations is a major bonus.
