    • Monitor cloud costs and resource utilization to optimize spending and identify opportunities for cost savings.
    • Optimize cloud configurations, workloads, and resources to improve performance, scalability, and efficiency.
  5. Cloud Migration and Integration:

    • Plan and execute cloud migration strategies to transition on-premises systems and workloads to cloud environments.
    • Integrate cloud services with existing on-premises infrastructure and applications to enable hybrid cloud solutions.
    • Collaborate with application teams to refactor, rearchitect, or modernize applications for cloud deployment.

Qualifications and Skills:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field.
  • Proven experience in cloud engineering, architecture, or operations roles.
  • Expertise in cloud computing platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
  • Proficiency in infrastructure as code (IaC) tools and automation frameworks (e.g., Terraform, AWS CloudFormation).
  • Strong scripting and programming skills with languages like Python, PowerShell, or Shell.
  • Knowledge of cloud security principles, best practices, and compliance frameworks.
  • Experience with cloud monitoring, logging, and observability tools (e.g., CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Stackdriver).
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and troubleshooting skills.
  • Effective communication and collaboration skills with cross-functional teams and stakeholders.

Additional Requirements:

  • Certification in relevant cloud platforms (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect) is a plus.
  • Experience with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) and microservices architecture.
  • Familiarity with DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and agile development methodologies.
  • Ability to adapt to new technologies and stay updated with industry trends and advancements.
