Platform Engineering and Cloud Infrastructure

• Design, implement, and operate cloud infrastructure supporting shared platforms and business-unit workloads, primarily on AWS with growing Azure and Nutanix footprints.
• Build and maintain platform components supporting Kubernetes (EKS), containers, and core cloud services, and own complex shared-platform components end-to-end, including their operational consequences.
• Implement infrastructure using Terraform, following established multi-account and landing-zone patterns and contribute to the evolution of shared platform architecture through design reviews and implementation work.

Reliability and Operational Excellence

• Apply SRE principles to improve reliability, scalability, and operational maturity of shared services.
• Define and maintain SLIs and SLOs for platform components.

AI Enablement

• Use AI coding agents and assistants, including OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, or equivalent approved tools, as a routine part of daily engineering work.
• Contribute to the shared AI capabilities the team provides, such as consumption reporting, gateways, and reusable workflows, applying responsible-AI guardrails.
• Validate AI-generated outputs and help teammates adopt effective, safe practices.

Observability and Operations

• Implement and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Splunk, and CloudWatch.
