• Build and evolve CI/CD pipelines for fast, safe software delivery — from commit to production
• Embed Dev Sec Ops  principles across the pipeline: security scanning, secrets management, and compliance by default
• Lead IaC practices with Terraform, Cloud Formation, and Ansible — keeping environments reproducible and auditable
• Own observability: monitoring, alerting, logging, and tracing across all systems
• Drive cloud cost optimization, identifying inefficiencies and right‑sizing resources proactively
• Partner with engineering teams to improve developer experience and remove friction from the SDLC
• Maintain architecture documentation, runbooks, and post‑mortems to support a culture of continuous improvement

• Extensive experience provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure on AWS, GCP, and/or Azure
• Strong proficiency with IaC tools — Terraform, AWS Cloud Formation, and Ansible
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines in Git Hub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, or Jenkins
• Deep expertise with Docker and Kubernetes

• Solid Linux administration and experience configuring NGINX, Traefik, and load balancers
• Proficiency scripting in bash and Python for automation and internal tooling
• Deep understanding of networking, cloud architectures, and web application design
• Experience with Git and managed platforms such as Git Hub, Bitbucket, and Azure Dev Ops
• Experience implementing cloud cost optimization and Fin Ops practices
• Strong communication skills — able to discuss complex technical topics and author clear documentation
• Comfortable leveraging AI‑enabled development tools and workflows to accelerate engineering, automation, debugging, and operational tasks
• Experience orchestrating multi‑step AI or agent‑driven workflows, including selecting appropriate models, tools, and execution patterns for different use cases
• Strong judgment reviewing and hardening AI‑assisted output for security, scalability, maintainability, and architectural fit
• Experience building or maintaining prompts, evaluation frameworks, documentation, or operational context systems that improve engineering velocity and reliability
• Familiarity with automated evaluation and feedback loops for AI‑enabled systems and workflows
