  • Oversee the full development lifecycle - from design and build to release and operations - across multiple engineering disciplines.
  • Support the integration and scaling of applications across cloud platforms.

4. Leadership Across Engineering Functions

  • Manage and align cross-functional teams including developers, automation testers, and platform engineers.
  • Act as a technical mentor and provide architectural guidance to ensure delivery consistency and quality.
  • Foster a DevOps culture and enable cross-team collaboration through shared tools, standards, and automation practices.

5. Disaster Recovery (DR), Resilience & Governance

  • Architect and automate DR strategies, ensuring they align with business continuity requirements.
  • Define and enforce governance, security, and compliance standards across the cloud platform and application layers.
  • Conduct DR drills and lead failover/failback implementations.

  • 12 15 years of experience in IT, with a strong background in cloud architecture, platform automation, and software development.
  • Hands-on expertise in AWS and at least one other cloud platform (Azure or Google Cloud Platform preferred).
  • Strong Python development experience, especially in infrastructure automation, tooling, and application orchestration.
  • Proven experience leading cross-functional engineering teams - including developers, testers, and platform engineers.
  • Deep knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, CDK, CloudFormation) and CI/CD tooling (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab).
  • Strong understanding of application architecture, cloud-native design patterns, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and deployment strategies.
  • Demonstrated experience in designing and executing DR strategies and platform governance practices.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
