About the role
Overview
In today's digital-first environment, organizations rely on cloud adoption and modernization to stay competitive. Our OnX Cloud Engineers partner with clients to migrate and modernize workloads on AWS, deliver secure and scalable environments, and provide hands-on expertise throughout project execution. We specialize in log analytics, observability, and monitoring platforms such as the ELK stack and OpenSearch, as well as containerized solutions using Amazon EKS. We help clients accelerate their cloud journey by executing migrations, deployments, and automation solutions that align business strategy with technology outcomes.
Our team works with clients to:
- Migrate and modernize workloads, including ELK stack, from on-premises and other clouds to AWS.
- Deploy and maintain scalable, secure, and automated AWS environments.
- Build and operate Infrastructure as Code frameworks for consistent and automated deployments.
- Implement and manage containerized solutions with Amazon EKS and Kubernetes.
- Redesign and migrate ELK workloads into OpenSearch, including dashboard creation, visualization, and optimization.
- Build and support CI/CD pipelines for IaaC and application deployments.
- Deliver automation, observability, optimization, and operational improvements for cloud environments.
Responsibilities
As a Cloud Engineer, you will:
- Execute workload migrations : Participate in planning and carrying out migrations from on-premises and multi-cloud environments to AWS.
- Lead ELK stack migrations : Migrate ELK from on-premises or multi-cloud environments into AWS and EKS.
- Redesign and modernize log platforms : Transition ELK workloads to OpenSearch, redesign solutions, and create optimized dashboards.
- Implement AWS solutions : Build secure, scalable, and cost-optimized environments by applying AWS best practices.
- Deploy and operate Kubernetes and EKS environments : Provide deep expertise in container orchestration deployment, operations, and support.
- Develop and maintain IaaC frameworks : Build and operate automated deployment pipelines using AWS CDK (TypeScript), CloudFormation, and Terraform.
- Build and support CI/CD pipelines for IaaC and applications : Ensure reliable, repeatable, and automated deployments of infrastructure and workloads.
- Operate, optimize, and automate environments : Continuously improve efficiency through automation, monitoring, observability, and cost optimization.
- Collaborate with delivery teams : Work with architects, developers, and client teams to ensure smooth execution and successful outcomes.
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues : Provide operational support across migrations, deployments, and ongoing delivery.
- Requirements
Required:
- Hands-on experience delivering AWS solutions in production environments.
- Strong background in workload migrations from on-premises and other clouds to AWS.
- Proven experience migrating ELK workloads to AWS, including deployment on Amazon EKS.
- Strong expertise in redesigning and modernizing ELK into OpenSearch, including dashboard design, visualization, and optimization.
- Proficiency and production experience with Kubernetes and Amazon EKS deployment and operations.
- Deep expertise in IaaC tools: AWS CDK (TypeScript), CloudFormation, and Terraform.
- Experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines for IaaC and workloads.
- Solid understanding of AWS networking, IAM (policies, roles, STS, cross-account access), security, and DevOps practices.
- Experience with AWS Landing Zones (Control Tower).
- Experience using AWS Systems Manager for operational setup, automation, and optimization.
- Proficiency with Amazon CloudWatch for monitoring, logging, and observability.
- FinOps experience: ability to review, analyze, and optimize AWS cloud costs.
- Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
- Effective communication and collaboration skills.
- 3+ years of professional experience in cloud engineering, migrations, or solution delivery.
Nice to Have:
- Experience with Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
- Familiarity with hybrid architectures and multi-cloud strategies.
- Exposure to container security, service mesh, and advanced observability solutions.
- Knowledge of AWS and non-AWS databases (RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, or migration of legacy DBs to AWS).
- Experience with monitoring and logging tools beyond ELK/OpenSearch (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana).
- Cloud certifications (AWS Associate/Professional, Azure, or GCP).
Education
- Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent experience.
- Preferred: Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field.
