- Implement code governance practices such as protected branches, mandatory code reviews, and automated testing for infrastructure pull requests.
- Define and promote GitOps best practices across engineering teams, including onboarding and training for new workflows.
- Take end-to-end ownership of cloud infrastructure performance, ensuring high availability, reliability, and scalability across AWS environments.
- Establish service level objectives and indicators; implement monitoring, alerting, dashboards, and incident response procedures.
- Lead incident response efforts and post-incident reviews to identify root causes and implement preventive solutions.
- Develop and apply cost-saving measures for cloud usage, including resource tagging and governance enforcement.
