Conduct cloud-readiness evaluations, migration planning, and architectural risk assessments. DevOps, Automation & Operational Excellence Advance DevOps tooling, CI/CD pipelines, IaC, and automated deployment models. Streamline operational workflows through architectural automation and tooling modernization. Implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting for proactive detection and visibility. Support governance, cost optimization, license rationalization, and platform consolidation efforts. Lead capacity planning and forecasting to support future platform demand. Oversee 24×7 production support models to ensure high availability and operational integrity. Business Partner Engagement & Consulting Serve as the primary architectural advisor for infrastructure-related business priorities. Lead consultative engagement, demand shaping, and solution alignment with business stakeholders. Coordinate delivery across engineering teams, vendors, and technology partners.

Proficiency with Datadog, Splunk, AppDynamics, or related observability tools. Expertise in Agile development, DevOps tooling (Jenkins, Git), and ITSM platforms (ServiceNow, Jira, Confluence). Experience with cloud security, IAM/PAM, network controls, and compliance-aligned design. Background in Infrastructure-as-Code (ARM, Bicep), Kubernetes/Docker, and datacenter operations. Experience supporting cloud migration from traditional on-prem environments. Strong vendor-management experience and knowledge of ITIL frameworks. Excellent problem-solving, strategic thinking, communication, and stakeholder-management skills. Strong organizational ability, emotional intelligence, and a customer-focused mindset.
