• Maintain and improve our IaC (AWS SAM / CloudFormation), CI / CD pipelines, and environment promotions.
• Integrate and support third-party services used for payments, open banking, notifications, fraud / risk, analytics and support tooling.
• Troubleshoot production issues, drive RCAs, and implement preventive fixes and runbooks.
• Uphold security best practices (least-privilege IAM, secret management, input validation, auditability).
