Responsibilities

AWS architecture & operations: Own production infrastructure end-to-end (networking, compute, storage, IAM, routing, scaling, backups, DR).
IaC & environments: Standardize and evolve Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or AWS CDK); codify dev/stage/prod with repeatable patterns and least-privilege IAM.
CI/CD: Keep deployments fast and safe (build, test, deploy, rollback); drive progressive delivery where it makes sense.
Observability & incident response: Ensure logs/metrics/traces + actionable dashboards; lead incident command and postmortems.
Security & compliance: Own cloud security baselines and support SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / GDPR needs.
Cost & performance: Right-size infra, track spend, and implement guardrails to prevent regressions.
Technical leadership: Document the platform, unblock developers, mentor peers, and cultivate cross-training so nothing is a single point of failure.
On-call: Alternate with others on the infra on-call rotation and train others as needed.
