Implement systems using reliable, version-controlled Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and Configuration-as-Code (CaC) methods.

Administer, maintain, and develop automation tools (e.g. CI/CD) to facilitate application development, deployment, and maintenance activities.

Define and monitor metrics for performance reporting and error detection.

Integrate AWS, Azure, and on-premises systems for seamless operations.

Planning, Documentation, and Reporting

Contribute to team roadmap planning by understanding the needs and initiatives of development teams and other stakeholders.

Document and maintain procedures for system configurations and deployments.

Prepare reports on infrastructure performance, cost projections, and improvement plans.

QUALIFICATIONS
