• Manage and optimize AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud environments for performance, reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency.
• Build and enhance CI/CD pipelines that automate software delivery and infrastructure deployment.
• Partner with software engineering teams to improve platform capabilities and developer experience.
• Monitor platform health, troubleshoot production issues, and drive continuous operational improvements.
• Implement security best practices across infrastructure, pipelines, and cloud environments.
• Use AI-assisted development tools such as Git Hub Copilot, Claude Code, or similar technologies to accelerate infrastructure development while validating quality, security, and maintainability.
• Build and support the platform capabilities that enable engineering teams to safely adopt AI agents, including model access, MCP servers and gateways, tool integrations, identity management, and governance controls.
• Extend observability and auditing capabilities to AI-driven workflows, ensuring agent actions are secure, traceable, and compliant.
• Research emerging cloud, platform engineering, and AI technologies to continuously improve engineering practices.
• Champion responsible AI adoption by establishing best practices, evaluating emerging tools, and helping engineering teams effectively integrate AI into their daily workflows.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 6+ years of experience in software, platform, Dev Ops, or cloud engineering.
• Strong experience with one or more major cloud providers (AWS preferred, Azure or Google Cloud also considered).
• Experience building Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, Cloud Formation, or similar tools.
• Experience with container technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Proficiency with scripting or programming languages such as Python, Go, or Bash.
