- Lead critical incident response, perform root cause analysis, and implement preventive measures (e.g., resource contention, misconfigurations, network latency).
- Cost Optimisation & Resource Management

- Establish resource quota management strategies to prevent waste and overspending.
- Security & Compliance
- Implement cloud security baselines (security groups, IAM policies, Alibaba Cloud RAM permissions, AWS Security Hub), conduct regular security audits, and remediate vulnerabilities.
- Design granular access controls using AWS IAM and Alibaba Cloud RAM, and enforce database auditing (e.g., AWS CloudTrail + Alibaba Cloud DAS).

- Proficient in Linux/Windows system operations and automation tools (Shell/Python/Ansible).
- Hands-on experience with containerized operations (Kubernetes, ECS/EKS, ACK) and cloud-native technologies (e.g., Service Mesh).
- Experience Requirements
- 5+ years of operations experience, with at least 3 years focused on public cloud (AWS/Alibaba Cloud) environments managing 100+ instances.
- Experience in building cloud platforms from scratch, hybrid cloud architecture design, or large-scale migration projects (e.g., IDC-to-cloud) is preferred.
- Team Management
- Excellent team management and communication skills to lead and collaborate with operations, development, testing, and security teams.
- Certifications & Education
- AWS Certified SysOps Administrator or Alibaba Cloud ACP/ACE certifications are preferred.
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Network Engineering, or related fields.
Nice-To-Haves

- Experience in cloud security practices, including Web Application Firewall (WAF) and DDoS protection (Alibaba Cloud Anti-DDoS Premium, AWS Shield).
- Exposure to big data/AI operations (e.g., Alibaba Cloud MaxCompute, AWS EMR).
- Team leadership experience is preferred.
