Key Responsibilities

•Drive cost efficiency across a multi-account AWS environment: cost dashboards, budgets, right-sizing of compute and databases, log-volume reduction, storage lifecycle policies, and Savings Plan coverage.
•Eliminate platform risk by retiring end-of-life runtimes, simplifying over-engineered infrastructure, and consolidating accounts with consistent guardrails (SCPs) and tagging.
•Bring AI/Bedrock spend under governance with attribution and budgets.
•Extend SLO coverage across production services and manage SLOs and monitors as code in Terraform.
•Make error budgets actionable, cut alert noise, measure MTTD/MTTR, and integrate alerting cleanly into the incident management workflow.
•Establish and run disaster-recovery drills with documented recovery objectives.
•Extend our reusable CI/CD workflows and golden-path service templates so new services reach production in hours, not days.
•Build out an internal developer platform (self-service deployments, ephemeral environments) and a production API Gateway for external APIs.
•Move secrets to runtime injection via AWS Secrets Manager, harden the container build pipeline, and consolidate infrastructure-as-code onto a single approach.
•Apply agentic AI to incident root-cause analysis and IaC authoring, with sensible human-in-the-loop guardrails.
