• Recommend and execute commitment-based AWS cost strategies, including evaluating and managing Savings Plans and Reserved Instances based on usage forecasts
• Set and communicate technical priorities for the team, balancing reliability, security, cost, and delivery against department and company objectives
• Ensure the platform remains scalable, secure, and resilient and continues to meet the needs of internal engineering teams and our customers
