• Implement and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code practices—primarily Terraform—to support consistent, automated provisioning and configuration.
• Build and mature DevSecOps capabilities including vulnerability management, secrets management, dependency scanning, and secure configuration baselines.
• Partner with Security and Compliance teams to meet and maintain standards such as SOC2 and other relevant frameworks.
• Lead effective incident management and post-incident review processes while fostering a culture of operational excellence and blameless learning.
• Manage cloud cost visibility, forecasting, and optimization to ensure responsible and efficient use of AWS resources.
• Mentor and grow a high-performing DevOps team, fostering strong collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement.
• Collaborate closely with engineering leadership to align infrastructure and security priorities with broader product and company goals.
