• Manage containerized (ECS/Fargate) and serverless (Lambda) deployments with zero-downtime release strategies.
• Implement production-grade monitoring, logging, and alerting with CloudWatch, Prometheus, ELK, or similar tools.
• Automate infrastructure tasks, feature flagging, and infrastructure provisioning.
• Ensure cloud security best practices across IAM, network segmentation, and secrets management using SSM or Secrets Manager.
• Support data pipelines and analytics infrastructure, including ETL jobs, Snowflake, and dbt workflows.
• Collaborate with engineering, data, and QA teams using Notion and Linear to deliver smooth, reliable releases.
