• Automation & Scalability: Drive automation initiatives across the organization, developing scripts (Python, Bash, etc.) and tooling to eliminate manual tasks, improve system scalability, and streamline operational workflows.

• Reliability & Observability: Implement and manage sophisticated monitoring, logging, and observability platforms (e.g., Amazon CloudWatch, Sumo Logic, Prometheus, Grafana) and lead the strategy for incident response and post-mortems.

• Cloud Financial Management (FinOps): Champion our cloud cost optimization efforts. You will lead the analysis of AWS spend, implement governance policies, and engineer solutions to maximize cost-efficiency without compromising performance.

Who You Are:

• 8+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or CloudOps, with a proven history of technical leadership and project ownership.

• Expertise in Infrastructure as Code (AWS CDK, Pulumi, TF CDK) and designing complex CI/CD pipelines (AWS CodePipeline, GitLab CI, Jenkins).

• Expert-level Python scripting skills and deep knowledge of managing large-scale AWS Organizations using services like Control Tower, IAM Identity Center, VPC, and EC2.

• Experience with regulatory compliance frameworks, particularly in healthcare (HIPAA, CLIA, FDA).

• Strong skills in observability, FinOps (cloud cost optimization), cloud networking, and security.
