  • Design fault-tolerant, auto-scaling cloud systems with optimized network configurations like AWS Direct Connect and Alibaba Cloud CEN.
  • Implement robust monitoring and alerting frameworks using native tools (AWS CloudWatch, Alibaba Cloud CloudMonitor) and open-source platforms (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK).
  • Lead incident management and root cause analysis to mitigate performance bottlenecks and misconfigurations.
  • Conduct cost optimization through analysis of resource consumption, use of reserved instances, auto-scaling, and storage lifecycle policies.
  • Establish resource quotas and controls to avoid overspending.
  • Maintain cloud security baselines, including configuration of security groups, IAM policies, and regular vulnerability assessments.
  • Design and enforce granular access permissions via AWS IAM and Alibaba RAM; oversee database auditing with tools like AWS CloudTrail and Alibaba DAS.
  • Collaborate with development teams to improve application architecture through cloud-native methods such as serverless and microservices.
  • Create and maintain operation procedure documentation and lead technical training within teams.

Qualifications and Experience

  • Extensive expertise in core AWS or Alibaba Cloud services relating to compute, storage, networking, and security, with familiarity in the alternate platform.
  • Strong skills in Linux/Windows administration and automation using Shell, Python, and Ansible.
  • Experience managing container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes, plus ECS/EKS/ACK services and related cloud-native technologies like Service Mesh.
  • Minimum of 5 years in operational roles, including 3+ years managing large-scale public cloud environments with over 100 instances.
  • Preferred experience with cloud platform construction, hybrid cloud design, or large-scale data center migrations.
  • Demonstrated leadership capabilities with effective communication to manage cross-functional teams including operations, development, testing, and security.
  • Relevant certifications such as AWS Certified SysOps Administrator or Alibaba Cloud ACP/ACE are advantageous.
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Network Engineering, or related disciplines.

Additional Preferred Skills

  • Knowledge of multi-cloud management platforms covering AWS, Alibaba Cloud, and Azure, as well as FinOps for cost management.
  • Understanding of cloud security frameworks including Web Application Firewalls and DDoS protection mechanisms.
  • Experience with big data and AI operational tools like Alibaba Cloud MaxCompute and AWS EMR.

Benefits

  • Attractive overall compensation package.
  • Learning and development programs with education subsidies.
