Technical SME

1. Purpose of the Role
Technical SME (hands-on) who bridges the gap between a solution architect and a developer. This person will guide low-level design, build and deployment strategies, and Dev Sec Ops  practices for two initiatives:
- Project Sushi IoT / medical device integration to edge
- One Source QA AI-driven automation for Quality processes

2. Core Focus Areas
Focus Area Description
AWS & IoT Expertise Deep hands-on experience with AWS cloud-native services (S3, EC2, Lambda, API Gateway, RDS, VPC) and IoT Green grass for edge deployments.
Edge & Device Deployment Proven background deploying and managing IoT/medical devices at the edge, including device communication, monitoring, and updates.
Dev Sec Ops  Practices Strong grounding in CI/CD and infrastructure automation (Git Hub Actions, Harness, Terraform, etc.). Should drive SRE principles (automated monitoring, clear SLAs/SLOs).
