• Implement cloud security best practices, including identity and access management, policy enforcement, and platform governance controls.

• Monitor platform health through observability, logging, alerting, and performance management solutions.

• Partner with engineering and security teams to develop scalable, secure, and reliable cloud solutions.

• Optimize platform performance, availability, and cloud spend through operational excellence and FinOps practices.

• Troubleshoot complex cloud infrastructure and platform issues across production and non-production environments.

• Develop technical standards, documentation, and operational procedures.

• Mentor engineers and contribute to the growth of cloud engineering capabilities across the organization.

Qualifications:

• Minimum of eight years related work experience.
