• Write and enforce policy-as-code controls — AWS Config rules, SCPs, and OPA policies — to maintain governance guardrails across the account estate
• Deploy and manage EKS clusters — node configuration, add-on management, upgrades, and day-2 operations Automate cloud operational tasks — account onboarding, compliance reporting, quota management, and configuration drift detection
• Implement cloud security controls — GuardDuty, Security Hub, WAF, and network security configurations
• Support application teams with onboarding, troubleshooting, and platform guidance
• Contribute to multi-cloud extension, applying consistent patterns to Azure and GCP as workloads require
• Monitor platform health, respond to incidents, and drive root cause resolution
