Data Base Cloud Specialist

About the role

The Service Delivery Public Safety IT Team is seeking a critical cloud/platform/systems specialist to support senior resources. Expectations include leading infrastructure initiatives to modernize IT infrastructure and operations to enhance efficiency, scalability, and reliability across hybrid cloud environments.

Responsibilities

• Leading infrastructure initiatives to modernize IT infrastructure and operations to enhance efficiency, scalability, and reliability across hybrid cloud environments.
• Supporting enterprise modernization goals by providing support for modern approaches to hybrid-cloud administrative and engineering practices to eliminate expensive and inefficient legacy solutions, while improving operational efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and enabling scalable infrastructure solutions.
• Designs, maintains, and optimizes hybrid platforms that bridge on-premises infrastructure with AWS cloud services, aligning with the shift toward cloud-centric operations.
• Designing and administering AWS environments (EC2, VPC, IAM, S3) to support enterprise workloads.
• Creating hybrid workload patterns where identity, authentication, and application services function seamlessly across cloud and on-premises systems.
• Migrating legacy systems to AWS, including developing modernization roadmaps and workload readiness assessments.
• Documenting system architectures and producing AWS architecture diagrams showing network topology, dependencies, and service interactions.
• Provides senior-tier support for issues escalated from Service Desk, Applications, Networking, or automation teams:
• Diagnosing complex AWS identity, network, or compute issues affecting dependent applications.
• Documenting troubleshooting workflows, root causes, and long-term mitigation strategies.
• Guiding teams through hybrid dependency failures such as directory sync disruptions, routing conflicts, or misconfigured IAM policies.
• Ensures platform resilience by monitoring, optimizing, and maintaining cloud and on-prem compute, storage, networking, and identity components:
• Eliminate single points of failure in designs patterns.
• Provide backup, recovery, and DR to meet all RTO/RPO requirements.
• Implementing performance dashboards covering compute utilization, storage I/O, and network throughput across AWS and on-prem.
• Conducting root-cause analysis for performance issues and documenting remediation steps.
• Identifying cost optimization opportunities through instance rightsizing, storage tier adjustments, and lifecycle automation.
• Maintaining architecture diagrams, standards, IaC manifests, and operational procedures in version-controlled environments.
• Preparing change impact statements for major infrastructure modifications.
• Creating release documentation for platform updates promoted through CI/CD pipelines.
• Ensuring consistency across platform standards, enforcement rules, and automation artifacts.
