• Optimize your team’s development, and delivery experience, so you and your team can be as productive as possible and regularly deploy to production.
• As necessary, develop infrastructure as code using CDK/Terraform so you can use more AWS.
• Responsible and dependable to take on challenging tasks with minimal supervision
• Work in a collaborative environment where you regularly pair, plan, and execute tasks as a team and strive to optimize your team’s Lead Time, Deployment Frequency, Mean-time-to-recovery, and Change Failure Rate.
• Involve in continuous improvement of processes by regularly making improvement recommendations at team retrospectives
• Independently manage your tasks in JIRA without Manager's involvement.
