The Role
Operate and scale EKS-based Kubernetes clusters and AWS AgentCore systems; build CI/CD pipelines with GitLab, IaC with Terraform, and observability. Define SRE practices (SLIs/SLOs, alerting, incident response), participate in on-call rotation, and partner with developers to productionize AI/agent workloads for reliability and cost efficiency.
