o    Automate provisioning, configuration, and deployment processes to improve efficiency and reliability.
o    Integrate security scanning and compliance checks into the CI/CD pipeline (DevSecOps).
•    Application Security & Compliance (DevSecOps):
o    Implement application security best practices across the infrastructure stack (network, compute, identity).
o    Utilize secrets management tools (AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault).
o    Collaborate with the security team to ensure infrastructure meets compliance standards (e.g., SOC2, ISO27001).
o    Perform vulnerability management and patch orchestration.
•    Monitoring, Logging, & Reliability:
o    Implement and manage monitoring, alerting, and logging solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, CloudWatch, Datadog).
o    Participate in on-call rotations and lead incident response, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis.
o    Drive initiatives to improve system reliability, performance, and cost-optimization.
•    Collaboration & Mentorship:
o    Work closely with development teams to enable a true DevOps culture.
o    Document architectures, processes, and runbooks.
o    Share knowledge and mentor junior team members.

Qualifications

•    Bachelors Degree in IT/Telecom, Computer Science.
