• Define and evolve our infrastructure roadmap, aligning reliability with product growth needs.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code using Terraform/CloudFormation for consistent, repeatable environments.
• Design high-availability topologies, disaster-recovery plans, and automated backup strategies.

CI/CD, Automation & Developer Enablement

• Build and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins) to support frequent, reliable releases.
• Standardize build, test, and deployment workflows across engineering teams.
• Create self-service DevOps tooling that accelerates developer productivity.
• Enforce deployment safety with staged rollouts, canaries, and rollback strategies.

Containers, Orchestration & Observability

• Deploy and operate containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes across environments.
• Implement strong monitoring, logging, and alerting using Prometheus, Grafana, and centralized logging stacks.
• Establish SLOs, SLAs, and error-budget practices to drive reliability.
• Lead incident response, post-mortems, and continuous reliability improvements.

Security, Compliance & Governance

• Implement cloud security best practices including IAM, secrets management, and network isolation.
• Harden clusters, pipelines, and runtime environments.
• Support compliance-ready controls for training, audits, and data privacy.
• Continuously assess vulnerabilities and automate remediation workflows.

AI Platform & Advanced Capabilities

• Support infrastructure powering LLM-driven features, vector search, and RAG pipelines.
• Optimize performance and scalability of AI-related services in production.
• Collaborate with product and AI teams to safely roll out intelligent capabilities.
