  • Jenkins, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, and AWS native tooling (CodePipeline/CodeBuild/CodeDeploy)
• Own production support for deployment and platform issues; perform root-cause analysis and drive continuous improvements via automation and runbooks
• Partner with architects, security, and product teams to define DevOps standards, reference architectures, and platform roadmaps
• Strong scripting/programming skills (Python, Bash,) and experience building automation around AWS APIs
• Drive DevSecOps controls in pipelines and platforms (secrets management, IAM least privilege, policy-as-code, image scanning, SAST/DAST integration)
  • Strong AWS foundations: VPC, Route 53, Transit Gateway, WAF, security groups/NACLs, IAM, KMS, and multi-account networking patterns

Qualifications:
