· Develop Kubernetes Operators and contribute to platform extensibility.
· Implement monitoring, observability and reliability practices using CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, Loki and X-Ray.
· Drive CI/CD and DevOps practices with tools such as GitHub Actions and GitLab CI/CD.
· Apply AWS best practices and the Well-Architected Framework across platform design and operations.
· Collaborate with engineering teams to reduce toil, improve developer experience and enable self-service consumption of platform capabilities.
RequirementsWhat you bring:
· 5+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, building self-service platforms and abstractions for engineering teams.
