• Develop internal tooling for build automation, monitoring, logging, and performance optimization.
• Improve release processes, reduce deployment friction, and increase system reliability.
• Monitor environments using Datadog, Cloud Watch, or equivalent observability tooling.
• Troubleshoot high-priority production issues and drive root-cause analysis.
• Promote Dev Ops best practices around version control, branching strategies, testing, and automation.
• Ensure operational maturity, including backup strategies, access controls, and security reviews.

• 5+ years of Dev Ops/SRE/Platform Engineering experience in cloud-native environments.
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS (EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, S3, IAM, VPC, Cloud Formation/Terraform).
• Expertise in CI/CD pipelines— Git Lab, Jenkins, Git Hub Actions, or equivalent.

• Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) with Terraform.
• Scripting skills in Python.
• Familiarity supporting C#/.NET Core, Python services, and React front-end builds.
• Experience building secure, scalable, and highly available production environments.
• Strong understanding of networking, monitoring, logging, and alerting frameworks.
• Ability to work independently in a high-paced, high-ownership environment.

• Experience supporting financial systems, trading platforms, or real-time applications.
• Familiarity with SQL Server and data-centric workflows.
