• Ability to operate at both strategic and execution levels—driving long-term platform vision while remaining hands-on with complex troubleshooting and delivery.

DevSecOps & Secure CI/CD Gating
Define and operate secure, enterprise CI/CD pipelines with enforced quality, security, and compliance gates. Own DevSecOps tooling (SonarQube, JFrog Artifactory/Xray, Jenkins) to enable static analysis, supply-chain security, policy-driven deployments, and shift-left security. Integrate CI/CD gating with GitOps, Kubernetes, and runtime security platforms while partnering with Security and Developer Experience teams to mature secure SDLC practices.

AWS Infrastructure & Security
Architect and operate secure, resilient, and cost-optimized AWS infrastructure. Own OS and AMI hardening, RDS HA/DR architectures, core AWS services (EFS, SFTP, messaging), and OpenSearch clusters. Enforce strong security controls across IAM, networking, encryption, logging, and data protection while supporting database connectivity and performance at scale.

Data & Integration Platforms
Design and operate enterprise data integration platforms, including Talend ETL, with a focus on secure connectivity, scalability, and reliability. Ensure stable integration across databases, SFTP endpoints, and messaging systems while monitoring pipeline performance, throughput, failures, and recovery. Partner with data teams to improve observability and platform resilience.

Cloud-Native & Kubernetes Platforms
Design and operate secure, cloud-native Kubernetes platforms. Own Amazon EKS clusters, Helm-based deployments, and GitOps workflows with Argo CD. Embed security into CI/CD and runtime, standardize cluster services and patterns, and troubleshoot networking, storage, compute, and performance issues across environments.

Kubernetes & Platform Engineering
Build and evolve a self-service Kubernetes platform with standardized add-ons, observability, and operational patterns. Improve cluster scalability, stability, and performance while collaborating with Developer Experience teams to reduce cognitive load and accelerate developer adoption.

Operations & Reliability Engineering
Establish robust observability and reliability practices using CloudWatch, Prometheus, and Grafana. Lead incident response and root cause analysis while driving reliability improvements through automation, runbooks, and standardization. Proactively address cost escalations, network issues, and performance bottlenecks to improve operational maturity.

Coding & Automation
Develop automation, platform tooling, and integrations using Python and/or Golang. Contribute to infrastructure-as-code and GitOps repositories, build internal platform services, and integrate capabilities into a Developer Portal / Internal Developer Platform (IDP) to enable scalable self-service.
