• Optimize the deployment of existing credit software in AWS by decomposing it into services such as Fargate, Lambda, RDS (high availability), MQ, Airflow, CloudTrail, and CloudWatch.
• Architect new software deployments in AWS, following best practices around security, logging, and high availability.
• Enhance integration and regression testing as well as improve deployment pipelines.
• Upgrade authentication across internal tools to support single sign-on (SSO).
• Set up site-to-site VPN connections between on-premise infrastructure, AWS, and external counterparties.
• Support the security certification process by improving policies, practices, and documentation.
• Streamline developer environment setup to improve onboarding and productivity.
• Right-size the existing AWS architecture for cost optimization, adding monitoring and instrumentation for better observability.
• Set up cost alerts and actively monitor AWS usage and spending.
