- Build and manage cloud environments that are scalable, secure, and optimized for cost.
- Collaborate with development and operations teams to integrate best practices and streamline delivery processes.
- Apply security-first principles across systems and advocate for compliance with industry standards.
- Diagnose and enhance existing platforms, especially those with inconsistent or partial implementation.
- Engage directly with clients to understand technical needs, constraints, and risk tolerance, then translate those into actionable plans.
- Communicate tradeoffs and technical recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Adapt quickly to evolving requirements and incomplete information, delivering pragmatic yet maintainable solutions.
- Track time and deliverables accurately to support project planning and client billing in a professional services setting.
What We’re Looking For

- Experience creating consistent DevOps patterns across multiple teams or projects.
- Knowledge of FinOps and cost optimization strategies in cloud environments.
- Experience mentoring junior engineers or providing technical leadership.
