Design, build, and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, or others) that enable rapid, reliable feature delivery.
Drive cloud cost optimization and performance engineering across AWS and Azure services, balancing efficiency with reliability commitments.
Own the security posture of cloud infrastructure and partner with compliance teams on SOC2 and StateRamp adherence.
