About
Act as a hands-on Subject Matter Expert (SME) for our internal toolchain, including Terraform modules, AWS Service Catalog, GitLab CI, Datadog/CloudWatch, and Backstage/IDP. Conduct office hours, create exemplars/templates, produce clear documentation, and collaborate with teams to accelerate tool adoption. Triage and address platform requests, establish SLAs/SLOs, and clarify ownership boundaries.
Own Paved Roads & Golden Paths
Maintain opinionated Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules and deployment blueprints, focusing on multi-account, networking, security, and observability. Standardize security-first practices (VPC, IAM, KMS, secrets management, logging, ALB/API Gateway, S3/Lambda/ECS/EKS) with policy-as-code guardrails.
Drive DevSecOps Outcomes
Integrate security controls into CI/CD processes, including linting, SAST/DAST, SBOMs, and IaC checks. Collaborate closely with Security, Compliance, and Data teams to maintain automated, audit-ready controls.
Measure, Learn, Iterate (Ownership Mindset)
Assess and report on developer experience KPIs, like lead time/DORA metrics, onboarding duration, time-to-first-deploy, and CI success rate. Conduct lightweight experimentation (A/B documents, template modifications) and implement improvements with a product-focused mindset.
Reliability & Cost Stewardship
Create straightforward observability for platform components to reduce Mean Time To Recovery (MTTR) with effective runbooks. Implement FinOps practices: right-sizing, establishing cost guardrails/budgets/alerts, and guiding teams towards optimal spending.
Collaboration & Mentorship
Act as a trusted advisor to application delivery units, Security, and Data teams, transforming requirements into paved road enhancements. Mentor engineers and foster a culture of ownership, curiosity, and continuous improvement.
