  • Monitor cloud systems, applications, and data pipelines, proactively identifying performance, cost, reliability, or security issues and troubleshooting production incidents in a timely manner.
  • Collaborate with data engineers, analysts, and cross-functional stakeholders to gather requirements and design scalable, maintainable, and efficient cloud-native solutions.
  • Lead architectural discussions, code reviews, and infrastructure reviews, ensuring adherence to best practices for cloud design, security, coding standards, and operational excellence.
  • Mentor junior engineers and interns, fostering a collaborative environment and promoting professional growth through hands-on technical guidance, cloud architecture mentorship, and regular feedback.

  • Experience implementing DevSecOps practices, including CI/CD automation, secrets management, environment isolation, and security best practices.
  • Expertise building and supporting data pipelines, analytics platforms, and real-time or near-real-time data processing systems.
