Security, Compliance & Observability
  • Implement “shift‑left” security by embedding security testing and compliance automation into pipelines.
  • Partner with Security and SRE teams to enforce SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets in delivery pipelines.
  • Advance unified observability initiatives by integrating New Relic, Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, Open Telemetry, and Cloud Watch into pipelines.
  • Ensure compliance with HIPAA, SOC2, GDPR, and internal governance frameworks.
Fin Ops & Cost Governance
  • Build cost‑awareness into CI/CD and IaC workflows by embedding Fin Ops checks and cost gates.
  • Collaborate with Fin Ops and Cloud teams to enforce cost tagging, rightsizing, and efficiency standards.
  • Provide insights and automation for cloud cost optimization across AWS services (EKS, ECS, EC2, S3, RDS, containers).
Cross‑Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with Engineering, Product, SRE, and Security leaders to align on standards and frameworks.
  • Drive knowledge sharing and enablement through playbooks, templates, documentation, and internal CoP (Community of Practice) sessions.
  • Act as the escalation point for complex Dev Sec Ops  technical challenges across teams.
