• Modular Terraform, OpenTofu or Pulumi, including state management, drift detection and policy testing
• GitOps and delivery tooling: ArgoCD, Flux, GitHub Actions
• Observability: OpenTelemetry collector topologies, tail-based sampling, Prometheus, Grafana (Mimir/Tempo), ClickHouse or Datadog
• Policy as code and supply chain security: Kyverno, OPA, SAST/SCA, cosign, SBOMs
• Deterministic, idempotent workflows with Temporal or event-driven architectures on Kafka

AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY

• Design and standardize a self-service Internal Developer Platform (e.g. Backstage or Port) with golden deployment paths and secure, ephemeral environments
• Architect multi-cluster, multi-region GitOps delivery with ArgoCD or Flux, including automated canary analysis, traffic shadowing and automated rollbacks
• Build closed-loop remediation and AIOps pipelines using OpenTelemetry, anomaly correlation and workflow/orchestration engines (Temporal, Kubernetes Operators in Go)
• Implement policy as code and software supply chain security with Kyverno or OPA, SAST/SCA gates, cosign and SBOMs
• Define SLO/SLI governance, error budgets and automated chaos testing for distributed services
• Establish standards for IaC, CI/CD and telemetry, and drive them through cross-team RFCs and architecture reviews
• Support inference and training infrastructure for AI workloads, including GPU autoscaling (KEDA)
