This role blends hands-on engineering with technical leadership.

• Lead AWS-first platform design across EKS/Kubernetes, Lambda, DynamoDB, MemoryDB/Redis, and Postgres

• Drive infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD practices (Terraform, GitHub Actions) with strong operational ownership

• Partner with product, data, and platform stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable technical roadmaps

• Serve as a technical leader for C#/.NET services, including Azure integrations (Functions, App Service, Service Bus, AKS, Azure SQL/Cosmos DB)

• Solid foundation in security, compliance, and cloud best practices

• Proven ability to mentor engineers and influence architectural direction

NICE TO HAVE, BUT NOT A DEALBREAKER
