• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (using modern tools and AWS native services)
• Drive platform consistency across multiple regions and teams
• Collaborate with engineers, security, and product managers to deliver robust systems
• Promote automation and a “platform as a product” mindset

• Strong experience with AWS in production environments
• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (AWS CDK preferred)
• Experience with Datadog for monitoring and observability
• Familiarity with AWS CloudWatch and other native monitoring/logging tools
• A track record of building or maintaining CI/CD pipelines
• A proactive, team-oriented mindset with a focus on automation and quality

You Matter to Us
