Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Automate the provisioning of global cloud infrastructure using Terraform and AWS CDK (Python).
Security Integration: Embed SAST, DAST, and SCA scanning tools directly into build and deployment workflows to identify vulnerabilities early.
Site Reliability: Monitor system health and respond to vulnerabilities across applications and infrastructure to maintain high availability.
Collaboration: Partner with development and ops teams to enforce secure coding standards and cloud governance frameworks.
Documentation: Maintain rigorous documentation for security protocols, deployment strategies, and compliance configurations.
Qualifications & Skills:
Cloud Expertise: Deep hands-on experience with AWS core services (IAM, EC2, Lambda, S3, CloudFormation).
Automation Mastery: Advanced proficiency in Python, specifically for infrastructure automation via AWS CDK.
Tooling: Professional experience with Terraform for IaC and Bitbucket for source control/pipeline management.
Containers: Solid understanding of containerization and orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes.
