• Monitor and audit access logs, approvals, and enforce dual‑control procedures.

API & Messaging Operations

• Operate API Gateways (NGINX), Kafka, MQ—configure routing, rate limiting, back‑pressure, consumer lag, and DLQ management.
• Troubleshoot schemas, contracts, timeouts, retries, and ensure idempotent processing.
• Manage backward‑compatible deployments, versioning, and traffic shaping.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 7+ years of experience in software engineering, including 4+ years with AWS.
• Strong knowledge of DevOps practices, pipelines, CI/CD, and infrastructure automation.
• 2 years of experience in AWS Cloud Architecture, Networking, and Security.
• Experience with infrastructure as code and policy as code tools.
