• Lead and contribute to service-based architectures, building systems that are scalable, resilient, secure, and maintainable
• Leverage AWS services such as EKS, ECS, and Lambda to support high-availability applications and modern deployment patterns
• Write clean, maintainable code and actively participate in code reviews, setting a high bar for quality and consistency
• Contribute to architectural decisions that balance performance, security, cost efficiency, and long-term platform health
• Define, provision, and optimize cloud infrastructure using Terraform and Terragrunt, with a focus on reliability and cost-aware design
• Share ownership of CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation, contributing to infrastructure-as-code and automated releases using tools like Jenkins and Argo CD
• Partner closely with QA and engineering teams to promote shift-left testing, automated quality checks, and early defect detection
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues across production and non-production environments, ensuring minimal downtime and strong system performance
• Participate fully in Agile practices—sprint planning, standups, and retrospectives—while collaborating cross-functionally to deliver meaningful outcomes
• Continuously look for ways to improve developer workflows, system observability, and operational excellence
