  • Infrastructure Automation: Develop, manage, and scale Kubernetes-based microservices infrastructure on AWS using Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code methodologies.

  • Developer Experience: Collaborate closely with product engineers to create seamless paths for development, testing, and deployment.

  • Operational Excellence: Monitor, troubleshoot, and maintain the stability of our systems through robust alerting and incident response strategies.
