Lead & deliver: Set technical direction, break down roadmaps, and lead engineers through design, implementation, and rollout of DevEx initiatives.
Own CI/CD: Standardize build/test/release workflows using Jenkins and GitHub (Actions/Apps), with reusable pipelines, shared libraries, and policy gates.
Run GitOps at scale: Operate and evolve Flux-based GitOps for environment promotion, rollback, and drift detection across multiple clusters.
Package & deploy: Define and maintain Helm chart standards, release processes, and documentation for service teams.
Kubernetes platform: Design guardrails, multi-tenant patterns, and golden templates on EKS (and support for GKE/Rancher/other distros where applicable).
Hybrid environments: Build consistent developer workflows spanning AWS and on-premdatacenters/virtualization platforms; ensure connectivity, secrets, and artifact flows work end-to-end.
Observability & reliability: Establish SLOs for platform services; integrate logs/metrics/traces, progressive delivery, and automated rollback.
Security & compliance: Embed security scanning, SBOMs, and policy-as-code into pipelines and cluster admission.
Enablement: Produce high-quality docs, examples, CLI/templates, and run office hours to uplevel teams.
Stakeholder management: Partner with Security, SRE, and product teams; communicate trade-offs and progress to engineering leadership.
Embrace and champion the thoughtful adoption of AI to improve team performance and business outcomes.
Leverage AI tools (e.g., generative AI, automation platforms, data copilots) to improve productivity, decision-making, and output quality in your day-to-day work.
