Responsibilities

• Migrate container workflows from Azure Container Registry to AWS ECR/GHCR and GitHub Packages.
• Re-target deployment from AKS to ECS on Fargate: task definitions, services, IAM task roles, networking, CloudWatch, load balancing, deployment validation.
• Leverage existing GitHub Actions pipelines for deployment workflows.
• Replace Azure constructs with AWS IAM roles, Okta groups, and OIDC federation.
• Replace Azure Key Vault secrets with AWS Secrets Manager and SSM Parameter Store.
• Convert IaC from Azure to AWS provider (remote state, modules).
• Re-point GitHub Actions pipelines/runners/reusable workflows and OIDC trust to Athene’s GitHub org and AWS accounts.
• Build GitHub Actions pipelines to deploy into ECS on Fargate for Claude skills.
• Create reusable deployment workflows for skills to invoke.
• Adapt workflows/scripts to run in Coder workspaces: environment vars, credentials, tooling, developer workflow.
• Instrument toolchain (Claude Code, skill library) on Ubuntu-based Coder workspace AMI.
• Ensure tools/skills are pre-installed, configured, and validated in the golden image.
• Use Claude Code to accelerate implementation with validation.
• Evaluate AWS Blocks as an alternative and pilot Blocks-based deployment for TS/Node workloads.
• Recommend where Blocks can reduce required skills.
• Author and execute validation evidence for ported skills.
• Produce a concise handover guide for Athene engineers.
