• Knowledge of CI/CD tools and practices, including source control, automated testing, environment configuration, deployment automation, and release traceability.
• Experience with observability and analytics platforms such as OpenSearch, Grafana, dashboards, metrics, logs, alerts, and service‑health monitoring.
• Understanding of secure software development practices, access control, secrets management, vulnerability awareness, and production support procedures.

Cloud Operations and Support Expectations

• Monitor AWS consumption and propose actions to reduce unnecessary costs while preserving performance and reliability.
• Maintain cloud environments through regular reviews of configurations, access rights, backups, logs, alerts, and service limits.
• Provide second‑level technical support for deployed cloud services, coordinating with development, infrastructure, security, and business stakeholders as needed.
• Document operational procedures, deployment steps, dashboard configurations, known issues, and troubleshooting guides.
• Participate in incident analysis and implement corrective actions to improve reliability and maintainability.

Required Experience

• Experience integrating frontend applications with backend APIs.
• Experience deploying applications to AWS using automated or semi‑automated pipelines.
• Experience supporting applications after go‑live, including monitoring, troubleshooting, and production issue resolution.
• Experience creating or maintaining technical dashboards for operations, analytics, or service monitoring.
