• Support compliance and audit needs through policy-as-code and logging controls.

Monitoring & Observability

• Use Datadog or like tools to configure application and infrastructure monitoring, logs, metrics, and alerts.
• Set up dashboards and telemetry to help engineering teams diagnose performance issues and maintain SLAs.
• Support incident response and contribute to post-incident reviews.

Collaboration & Enablement

• Work alongside software engineers to improve deployment practices and system observability.
• Partner with BI and data engineering teams to ensure infrastructure supports analytics, dashboards, and reporting.
• Contribute to documentation, onboarding materials, and tooling tutorials for broader team use.

• 4+ years of experience in DevOps, DevSecOps, or cloud infrastructure engineering roles.
• Proficiency with:
  • OpenShift or Kubernetes
  • AWS ECR or equivalent container registry platforms
  • Datadog (or similar observability stacks)
  • CI/CD systems (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD)
  • Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Helm, or Ansible)
• Working knowledge of secure development and deployment practices.
• Familiarity with full-stack environments and support for BI/data teams (e.g., enabling dashboards, data pipelines).

Preferred Skills:

• Scripting with Bash, Python, or Go for automation tasks.
• Experience with Docker container image lifecycle and versioning.
