• Experience with Splunk and Dynatrace for enterprise monitoring and observability, along with working knowledge of Azure Monitor and AWS CloudWatch.
• Proficiency in PowerShell, Bash, or equivalent scripting/programming languages, including version control and reusable code practices.
• Understanding of engineering change controls, release management, disaster recovery, vulnerability remediation, security compliance, and governance in regulated cloud environments.
• Knowledge of AWS and Azure cost optimization and governance, including resource utilization, rightsizing, cost allocation, tagging, reservations and savings plans, storage optimization, budgets, alerts, and reporting.
• Ability to investigate complex infrastructure and runtime issues, identify root causes, assess risks, implement controlled fixes, validate recovery, and collaborate with Development, Security, AppOps, Release Management, and Platform Engineering teams.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, technical documentation practices, and experience collaborating across time zones in distributed teams.
• Upper-Intermediate (B2+) English or higher.

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting payment systems, financial services, or other high-volume, high-availability platforms.
• Knowledge of database operations, distributed tracing, resilience testing, and automated recovery.
• Experience building reusable operational libraries, self-service infrastructure solutions, inner-source components, or self-healing mechanisms across multiple products.
• Additional experience with Dynatrace, including telemetry validation, alerting, dashboards, reporting, and operational monitoring evidence.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain reusable Terraform modules, Infrastructure as Code patterns, and infrastructure standards across AWS and Azure environments.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, compliance validation, and change tracking using Terraform and version control.
• Provision, maintain, and standardize development, testing, staging, and production environments, including configuration baselines, dependencies, naming conventions, and tagging standards.
• Identify and resolve infrastructure configuration drift, provisioning issues, and environment inconsistencies.
• Ensure infrastructure and platform readiness for deployments, migrations, and production onboarding across AWS and Azure.
• Support Kubernetes infrastructure (EKS/AKS), including cluster upgrades, runtime configuration, scaling, ingress, troubleshooting, recovery, and operational readiness.
• Develop and improve CI/CD automation using GitHub Actions and Jenkins, including deployment workflows, validation, and rollback procedures.
• Support cloud migration from Azure to AWS, including infrastructure provisioning, dependency validation, runtime readiness, cutover activities, post-migration stabilization, and controlled Azure decommissioning.
• Support infrastructure security and hardening, vulnerability remediation, compliance controls, and collaboration with security teams.
• Support monitoring and observability integrations, telemetry configuration, and infrastructure automation related to Terraform and CI/CD.
• Participate in disaster recovery testing, resilience validation, infrastructure recovery, and operational continuity activities.
• Maintain infrastructure documentation, runbooks, configuration standards, recovery procedures, and knowledge-sharing practices to ensure reliable backup coverage.
• Identify opportunities to optimize AWS and Azure infrastructure costs, including resource utilization, rightsizing, tagging, storage optimization, reservations, savings plans, and cost reporting.
• Collaborate with Development, Platform Engineering, Security, AppOps, Release Management, and other teams to improve infrastructure reliability, consistency, security, and operational efficiency.
