• Communicate risks, dependencies, and progress clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Coordinate with other teams to ensure smooth integration, handovers, and shared responsibility models.
• Maintain documentation standards where needed, while avoiding unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Ensure accurate time tracking, reporting, and alignment with agreed delivery expectations.

What you need for this

• 6+ years of experience in DevOps/Infrastructure Engineering with strong exposure to AWS-based environments.
• 2+ years of experience leading, mentoring, or managing DevOps / Platform / Infrastructure Engineering teams.
• Strong understanding of modern cloud-native architectures, Kubernetes ecosystems, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), CI/CD practices, and platform engineering principles.
