• Handling secrets, credentials, and secure application configuration using AWS Secrets Manager.
• Provisioning, renewing, and managing TLS/SSL certificates via AWS Certificate Manager for secure application and ingress communication.
• Developing, maintaining, and improving Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Terraform Enterprise.
• Supporting AWS networking components, including VPCs, subnets, route tables, internet gateways, NAT gateways, and security groups.
• Configuring and troubleshooting network connectivity between applications, clusters, databases, and external endpoints using tools like ping, curl, telnet, traceroute, lookup, dig, and port-level validation.
• Reviewing and maintaining network access controls, security group rules, and routing paths to ensure secure and reliable communication.
• Troubleshooting platform, infrastructure, DNS, certificate, secret management, load balancing, and network-related issues across environments.
• Monitoring platform health, creating dashboards, defining alerts, and improving observability using Cloud Watch.
• Partnering with development and security teams to enhance CI/CD, platform reliability, and compliance.
• Supporting incident response, root cause analysis, and operational readiness activities.
• Driving automation for platform operations, environment creation, upgrades, patching, and recovery procedures.
• Leveraging AI-assisted engineering tools for scripting, automation, troubleshooting, documentation, and operational efficiency.
• Evaluating opportunities for AI-powered tooling to improve platform support workflows, knowledge management, and incident response.
• Maintaining technical documentation, architecture diagrams, run books, and operational standards.
