• Develop secure Infrastructure-as-Code automation using Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, Terragrunt, CloudFormation, or similar technologies.
• Deploy and manage containerized applications using Kubernetes and Docker across AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
• Build AI-powered observability solutions leveraging Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Splunk, Dynatrace, ELK, or similar platforms.
• Implement security guardrails including RBAC, least-privilege access, approval workflows, audit logging, rollback mechanisms, and secure AI tool access.
• Partner with Engineering, Platform, Security, SRE, and AI teams to identify and implement intelligent automation opportunities.
• Create reusable automation frameworks, documentation, dashboards, and engineering best practices that scale across the organization.

Required Qualifications
