• Establish platform observability for analytics business consulting: monitoring, alerting, and log visibility
• Maintain security baselines, access controls, and secrets management

Requirements

• 5+ years hands-on platform engineering experience with a strong focus on automation, tooling, and building distributed, scalable systems. 3+ on AWS and Kubernetes specifically EKS and Kubernetes: production workload management including RBAC and IRSA
