Scalable Cloud Architecture
- Design and evolve AWS architectures that support real-time avatar interactions and highvolume traffic
- Build systems that scale horizontally and vertically across global regions
- Ensure high availability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery readiness
Performance & Cost Optimization
- Continuously tune compute, storage, and networking for speed and efficiency
- Implement autoscaling, caching, and load balancing strategies
- Optimize cost structures across environments without compromising performance
Infrastructure as Code & Automation
- Build and maintain IaC using Terraform, CloudFormation, and/or CDK
- Automate deployments, environment provisioning, and configuration management
- Establish CI/CD pipelines that support rapid iteration and safe releases
Security & Compliance
- Implement bestpractice security patterns across identity, data, and network layers
- Ensure compliance with industry standards, certification requirements and internal governance
- Monitor and remediate vulnerabilities across environments
Observability & Reliability
- Build robust monitoring, logging, and alerting frameworks
- Diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks in real time
- Ensure predictable uptime and smooth user experiences
- Implement cost-effective disaster recovery processes and schedule
Collaboration & Product Alignment
