• Implement frameworks for comprehensive monitoring, logging, and tracing solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, CloudTrail or similar) to ensure proactive incident response and service-level health.
• Partner with Application Engineering, InfoSec, and Architecture teams to align technical roadmaps, establish standards, and maintain technical documentation.
• Provide technical support and resolution for cloud infrastructure issues during and outside of business hours.

Qualifications and Education:

• Advanced expertise in writing scalable, production-grade Terraform modules; familiarity with CloudFormation.
• Proven track record building and managing production Kubernetes (EKS) clusters and Docker workloads at scale.
• Strong proficiency in Python (and/or Go/Bash) for system automation, cloud APIs, and platform integration.
• Deep knowledge of AWS networking concepts (VPCs, Transit Gateways, VPNs, Security Groups, Route Tables, Subnets, DNS) across multi-account architecture.
• Hands-on experience constructing and managing pipelines in GitHub Actions and Jenkins or similar
• Solid experience implementing observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, AWS CloudWatch/CloudTrail).
