• Strong AWS experience — compute, storage, networking, autoscaling.
• Experience with Terraform, packer, GitHub suite(GH Actions, workflows and runners)
• Experience driving large-scale CI improvements across multiple teams or orgs, having the ability to lead ambiguous technical initiatives with minimal direction.

• Track record of leading architecture and design for deployment pipelines, infrastructure platforms, and operational tooling, including defining standards and best practices across teams.
• Advanced expertise in observability, incident management, and reliability engineering, using data-driven approaches to improve SLIs/SLOs and reduce operational toil.
