• Conduct peer reviews on Terraform pull requests to enforce quality, security, and coding
standards.
CI/CD & Automation:
• Design, build, and manage CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions.
• Implement automated validation, linting, security scanning, and integration testing (Terratest,
checkov, tflint).
• Ensure pipeline security, including managed identities, OIDC federation, secret management,
and least privilege access.
Platform Reliability & Governance
• Maintain the platform’s module ecosystem, versioning strategy, and documentation.
• Monitor platform performance, pipeline health, and infrastructure quality indicators.
• Collaborate with Cloud Architecture, Security, and Operations teams to align on best practices.
