• Drive automation across all aspects of the infrastructure lifecycle, including provisioning, configuration, deployment, monitoring, and incident response.
• Design and implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions (e.g., CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack) to ensure system health and performance.
• Establish proactive alerting mechanisms and define key performance indicators (KPIs) for infrastructure and application stability.
• Champion a DevOps culture within the organization, promoting shared responsibility, continuous improvement, and knowledge sharing.
• Implement security best practices throughout the infrastructure lifecycle, including identity and access management, network security, data encryption, and vulnerability management.
• Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards and internal security policies.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or a similar role, with a strong focus on cloud infrastructure.
