Junior Cloud Engineer

We are hiring a Junior Cloud Engineer in Gurugram for a team building on AWS, Security, Networking. 0-1 years of experience.

AWS, Security, Networking, with Architecture, Serverless, Performance across the wider stack.

• 0-1 years with AWS in production.
• Hands-on depth in Security, Networking, enough to defend a decision you made in each, and name the one you rejected.
• Working familiarity with Architecture, Serverless, Performance.
• Fundamentals you can explain out loud: data structures, HTTP, version control. We would rather have somebody who reasons well than somebody who has memorised a framework.
• The ability to explain a technical decision to somebody who did not make it. Every round here includes it.

Not the focus of the interview, but part of the job. Teams ask about these, so be ready to talk about them:

• Git, branching and code review as a daily habit
• CI/CD: your work reaches an environment without somebody carrying it
• Infrastructure as code: Terraform, Pulumi or CloudFormation
• Observability (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry), and alerts that mean something
• Secrets and identity: IAM, least privilege, rotation
• Cost: knowing what your infrastructure bill is made of

Expect to be asked how you would approach a problem in each of the areas above, and why you would not take the obvious route. Then one level down on whichever answer was weakest.
