• Oversee the reliability of AWS-managed data infrastructure across Aurora, Elasti Cache Redis, Dynamo
  
  DB, and RDS
• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code using AWS CDK (Type Script), establishing automated, reusable patterns and best practices
• Reduce operational toil through automation and build self-service tooling that empowers engineering teams
• Implement and maintain robust monitoring, observability, and alerting using AWS Cloud Watch
• Ensure CI/CD pipelines are reliable, safe, and performant, enabling frequent and high-confidence deployments
• Act as the escalation point for complex infrastructure and database issues, supporting teams when deep expertise is required
• Lead incident response, run post-mortems, and deliver actionable improvements to avoid repeat failures
• Partner closely with stream teams to understand their infrastructure needs and provide technical guidance without slowing their velocity
• Mentor engineers across the Platform team, raising reliability standards and improving operational maturity
