Experience designing and supporting CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code solutions, and platform automation initiatives.
Strong knowledge of AWS, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and production operations.
Proven experience building deployment platforms, self-service developer experiences, and standardized engineering workflows.
Expertise in deployment validation, observability, incident response, reliability engineering, and operational excellence.
Demonstrated ability to influence architecture and technical direction across multiple engineering teams.
Experience supporting FedRAMP High, DoD IL5, GovCloud, FIPS, or other highly regulated environments is highly preferred.
Experience with centralized platform APIs, artifact promotion, deployment control planes, progressive delivery, or service onboarding automation is preferred.
