• Champion and implement DevOps, DevSecOps, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), and SRE best practices.
• Design and support distributed systems with a focus on scalability, reliability, observability, performance, and security.
• Promote a software-driven approach to infrastructure through automation and tooling.
• Influence and support cloud strategy, architecture standards, governance, and cloud provider engagement.
Architecture & Modernization
• Design end-to-end infrastructure and platform architectures aligned with business and technical requirements.
• Build scalable, secure, and cost-efficient solutions with clear implementation roadmaps.
• Evaluate and modernize existing systems, identifying opportunities for optimization and integration.
• Ensure alignment with enterprise architecture and security standards.
• Drive cloud and infrastructure cost optimization using FinOps principles, observability insights, and lifecycle management.
Cross-Functional Leadership
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor, influencing decision-making across teams.
• Lead architectural discussions, design reviews, and deep technical sessions.
• Produce clear documentation, presentations, and technical guidance for stakeholders.
• Promote continuous learning and adoption of modern engineering practices across the organization.
