• Serve as a primary on-call responder for critical incidents, contribute to post-incident reviews, and improve system resilience.
• Collaborate with other teams to identify, communicate, and address platform needs and interactions.

• Extensive containerization experience with Kubernetes (KOPS, EKS, ECS preferred), including cluster management, CRDs, and advanced deployment strategies.
• Demonstrated experience leading IaC initiatives with Terraform in complex, multi-account environments.
• Proficient experience with monitoring, logging, and alerting tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry, Sumologic, or AWS cloud-native tools; strong observability mindset.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills to collaborate with multi-functional teams and influence outcomes.
• Experience contributing to automation tooling or open-source projects is a plus.
• Exposure to industry practices in financial services is a plus.
