Security & Compliance

• Ensure platform‑level security and compliance with organizational and regulatory standards
• Collaborate with InfoSec and compliance teams to maintain a secure and auditable infrastructure

Technical Leadership

• Mentor junior SREs and developers on reliability practices, automation, and observability
• Contribute to technical roadmaps and reliability‑focused design reviews

Have you got what it takes?

• 5+ Years Strong experience with Kubernetes, EKS, ECS and containerized workloads in production
• Expertise in AWS services (EC2, Lambda, IAM, RDS, S3, ALB/NLB, VPC, PrivateLink, etc.)
• Proficiency with Terraform, Helm, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and GitOps (ArgoCD or Flux)
