Build automation for infrastructure lifecycle, CI/CD workflows, and deployment pipelines using tools like Terraform, Helm, and GitHub Actions.
Develop systems and services that support observability, secret management, disaster recovery, and regional failover.
Improve platform reliability through proactive instrumentation, alerting, and incident response in collaboration with observability and security teams.
Contribute to and maintain internal tooling, self-service workflows, and platform capabilities that support developer efficiency and service delivery.
Evaluate new tools to improve infrastructure scalability and reduce manual overhead.

Hands-on experience building CI/CD pipelines and deploying infrastructure using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, or similar.
Expertise in Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., Terraform, Helm, Ansible) and related automation practices.
