• Drive automation across all aspects of the infrastructure lifecycle, including provisioning, configuration, deployment, monitoring, and incident response.
• Design and implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions (e.g., CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack) to ensure system health and performance.
• Establish proactive alerting mechanisms and define key performance indicators (KPIs) for infrastructure and application stability.
• Champion a DevOps culture within the organization, promoting shared responsibility, continuous improvement, and knowledge sharing.
• Implement security best practices throughout the infrastructure lifecycle, including identity and access management, network security, data encryption, and vulnerability management.
• Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards and internal security policies.

• Extensive hands-on experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS), including services such as EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, Lambda, EKS/ECS, CloudWatch, etc.
• Proven expertise in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools, particularly Terraform and/or AWS CloudFormation.
• Deep understanding and practical experience in designing, implementing, and maintaining robust CI/CD pipelines
• Strong proficiency in scripting languages
