Specific Expected Contributions

Cloud Infrastructure & Automation

Design, build, and operate multi-cloud infrastructure as code across AWS, Azure, and OCI using Terraform and Ansible, authoring, versioning, and testing reusable modules and collections rather than only consuming them.

Automate landing zone, network, identity, and workload provisioning across dozens of environments from a single, auditable control plane, and enforce guardrails through policy as code (AWS SCPs, Azure Policy, OPA) so that compliance applies at deploy time rather than after the fact. Partner with Network and Information Security on private connectivity, transit architectures, and zero-trust segmentation (e.g., Illumio).

Container Platform & GitOps

Operate, upgrade, and extend production Kubernetes and OpenShift (ROSA) clusters at enterprise scale, including cluster lifecycle automation, drift detection, and progressive delivery patterns.

Maintain GitOps-based delivery with Argo CD, Helm, and Kustomize, managing code and configuration in Bitbucket (preferred) or GitHub with a defined branching strategy, pull request review, and release tagging; build golden paths and self-service capabilities, and advise application teams on containerization, workload placement, and resource governance.

Data & Integration Platform Enablement

Automate provisioning and operations for Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse (connectivity, wallet and secret management, scaling, backup posture), and support Confluent Kafka and MuleSoft CloudHub 2.0 with infrastructure, networking, and deployment automation.

Work with Data & Analytics partners to make environment promotion for data and analytics artifacts as repeatable as application delivery using IaC.

Reliability, Observability & FinOps

Instrument platforms with metrics, logs, and traces; define SLOs and actionable alerting, drive down alert noise, contribute to incident response and blameless postmortems, and automate remediation of recurring failure modes.

Deliver cost visibility and optimization: tagging and showback, rightsizing, commitment management (Reserved Instances / Savings Plans), storage lifecycle policy, and capacity planning across cloud and data platforms.

Technical Leadership & Delivery

Serve as a subject matter expert alongside business, application, and infrastructure teams; gather requirements, estimate effort from inception to delivery, and complete work within scope, priority, timeline, and budget, running smaller efforts independently and contributing to larger programs with limited oversight.

Produce design specifications, architecture diagrams, and operational runbooks and keep them current; mentor less experienced engineers, conduct design and code reviews, manage vendor escalations and product evaluations, and sustain a culture of quality, innovation, and disciplined experimentation.
