4. Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) : Handle sensitive data securely (HashiCorp Vault, environment variables, encryption). Detect and address infrastructure drift using tools like Terraform. Ensure idempotency for consistent, reliable automation.
5. Managerial Duties : Foster a continuous improvement mindset and culture. Effectively manage prioritization based on input from incident management, engineering managers, and product owners. Engage with principal engineers to drive innovation and maintain deliverable roadmaps.

What we are looking for

4. Experience with secure handling of sensitive data (secrets, API keys)
5. Observability tools for monitoring, logging, and alerting
6. Skilled in prioritizing tasks based on business needs and engineering goals
7. Proven track record of successful workload migration to Kubernetes
8. Hands-on experience implementing and monitoring DORA Metrics
9. Familiarity with Blue / Green and Canary deployments

You’ll thrive in this role if you :
