What You'll Do
Architect and manage cloud environments that power advanced energy and climate simulations, ensuring systems remain reliable, secure, and transparent. You'll build and maintain infrastructure using code-driven automation, enabling accurate, client-facing analysis that shapes decarbonization strategies.
Develop and refine CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and AWS tooling to streamline deployment and improve system resilience. Diagnose and resolve complex infrastructure and container orchestration challenges across distributed environments.
Deploy and manage containerized applications using Docker, Kubernetes (EKS, ECS), and Helm, ensuring consistent performance and scalability. Integrate monitoring and logging tools like DataDog and CloudWatch to maintain system health and visibility.
Collaborate with security and compliance teams to meet data governance standards, while implementing tagging, access controls, and cost-tracking frameworks. Optimize cloud spending and support project-level cost allocation to enhance transparency.
Document platform standards, runbooks, and best practices to improve operational readiness and support broader team adoption.
