Key Skills
Job Description
Enable teams and customers with secure, reliable cloud foundations
At Schuberg Philis, we believe in purposeful responsibility. Every customer has a dedicated team of engineers who take end-to-end responsibility for their mission-critical platforms and applications. For one of our dedicated customer teams, we are looking for a Cloud Engineer AWS to design, build, and maintain the backbone of our services: the AWS landing zone.
Your Role
As a Cloud Engineer AWS, you are responsible for the cloud infrastructure that powers the tools and services for our clients. You will manage the entire lifecycle of one or more landing zones—both our in-house platforms and client-specific environments—ensuring they are secure, scalable, and highly available. Your focus will be on modern cloud-native technologies, using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automation to drive efficiency and reliability.
You will be a key enabler for your team members, providing them with a stable and advanced platform so they can focus on delivering value to the client. This is a hands-on role where you will not only maintain the current environment but also actively shape its future by implementing new services and adopting the latest AWS innovations.
How you add value
- Design, build, and manage AWS landing zones using modern Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles, with a strong focus on AWS CDK and CloudFormation.
- Manage and operate containerized applications and services using AWS Fargate and other AWS container services (e.g., EKS), ensuring robust and scalable deployments.
- Automate operational tasks, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure management using scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
- Ensure the stability and performance of the platform through proactive monitoring, logging, and incident management.
- Manage the full lifecycle of the Linux-based environments, from provisioning and configuration to maintenance and decommissioning.
- Act as a technical advisor within the team, guiding colleagues on cloud best practices, security, and architectural decisions.
- Collaborate in a Git-driven workflow, using tools like GitLab and GitHub.
How you make the difference
You are passionate about automation and automation and building resilient, mission-critical systems. You are not simply following best practices—you set them. Taking ownership, you make the platform invisible, so your team can be visible in their impact
What you bring
- Proven track record as a System Engineer, Cloud Engineer, or DevOps Engineer in a complex, mission-critical AWS environment.
- Strong, hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code, particularly with AWS CDK and/or CloudFormation.
- Proven experience with AWS container services, with a strong focus on AWS Fargate.
- Deep knowledge of Linux system administration.
- Proficiency in one or more scripting languages: Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
- Solid understanding of CI/CD principles, configuration management, and monitoring concepts.
- Familiarity with tools like Datadog, Splunk, Okta, GitLab or GitHub is a plus.
- Legacy tool experience such as Chef or Octopus is appreciated, but not a must.
Ready to take 100% responsibility, together? We look forward to hearing from you.

About Schuberg Philis
Industry: Information Technology & Services

Some systems just have to work. They keep power grids stable, logistics moving, payments flowing, and vital public services online. You don’t hear much about them when they work, but when they stop, the impact is immediate, visible, and far-reaching. That’s exactly the kind of work we do. We design, build, and run IT systems that must be reliable, secure, and uncompromising because people depend on them every single day. We call it mission-critical IT. At Schuberg Philis, we go beyond traditional IT services by delivering promised outcomes, not just projects. Our Plan-Build-Run model means the same team takes ownership from start to finish: no handoffs, no middlemen. It’s how we’ve made 100% customer satisfaction not a goal, but a requirement. And it’s why 99.9% of our projects are delivered on time and on budget, helping customers realize solutions that are better, cheaper, and faster. Our engineers bring deep expertise in cloud, data & AI, software, and security, not as abstract offerings, but as the means to solve business-critical challenges. Whether it’s banks handling millions of transactions, logistics firms keeping supply chains running, or energy providers maintaining grid stability, customers trust us when failure is not an option. What sets us apart? - We engineer outcomes, not just deliver technology. - Our autonomous teams carry end-to-end responsibility. - We focus on long-term resilience and impact. This approach has made us the #1 ranked IT company in the Netherlands, according to Whitelane Research. Since 2000, we’ve built enduring partnerships across vital industries, delivering secure, scalable, and seamless solutions that keep society moving. We’re expanding across Europe with one clear mission: to be more than an IT provider. We’re a partner who understands your business inside out, and who is fully invested in your success.
