• Develop and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) solutions using tools such as Terraform, ARM/Bicep, or CloudFormation.
• Design, deploy, manage, and optimize cloud infrastructure environments primarily within AWS and secondarily within Azure.
• Implement automation for configuration management, policy enforcement, monitoring, and operational workflows to improve consistency and reduce manual effort.
• Establish and maintain platform SLAs, SLOs, monitoring standards, and capacity baselines.
• Promote knowledge sharing and technical collaboration across infrastructure and engineering teams.
• Support cloud cost optimization initiatives, including tagging strategies, rightsizing, budgeting, usage monitoring, and commitment management.
• Partner with finance and technology leadership on FinOps and cloud governance efforts.
• Implement and maintain security best practices including identity and access management, encryption, network segmentation, private connectivity, and key management controls.
• Collaborate with security teams to support compliance requirements and enterprise security standards.
• Identify and proactively address performance, scalability, and reliability risks within cloud environments.
• Design and support infrastructure environments for data and AI-related platforms, including Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, and machine learning workloads.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, standards, operational procedures, and runbooks.
