- Strengthen observability, performance, and audit readiness across environments
- Troubleshoot incidents, support root cause analysis, and improve standard operating procedures
- Mentor team members and help set engineering best practices across development and operations

- Core: EC2, S3, RDS, IAM
- Audit/monitoring: CloudTrail, CloudWatch
- Containers/serverless: EKS, Lambda (ECS a plus)
- Strong skills in Infrastructure as Code / automation , including at least one of:
- Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK, Ansible plus scripting (Python strongly preferred)
- Experience with CI/CD and release automation patterns and tools
- Linux administration + strong Bash scripting
- Strong communication skills and the ability to lead/drive technical decisions and transformations
NICE TO HAVE
- 3–5 years in an SRE-aligned role (principles, reliability transformation)

- Experience with service mesh (e.g., Istio / AWS App Mesh) and container networking (CNI)
- Container security tooling (Twistlock/Prisma, Aqua, Sysdig, etc.)
- Observability tooling (New Relic, AppDynamics, Datadog, Jaeger, etc.)
- AWS AI/GenAI patterns (e.g., Amazon Kendra, Bedrock, RAG )
- Agile/Scrum environment experience
