Responsibilities

Architect & Innovate — Design, develop, and optimize sophisticated cloud infrastructure automation on AWS, pushing the boundaries of what Infrastructure as Code can achieve across the enterprise.
Infuse AI into Infrastructure — Leverage AI and machine learning capabilities to build intelligent automation — from predictive scaling and anomaly detection to AI-powered troubleshooting, self-healing systems, and intelligent resource optimization that make the platform smarter with every deployment.
Empower Teams — Build self-service capabilities that enable internal engineering teams to move faster, deploy with confidence, and leverage Capital Group's cloud platform without friction — including AI-assisted developer tools and copilot-driven workflows.
Collaborate Cross-Functionally — Partner with software engineers, platform engineers, product managers, and product owners to deliver high-quality features across the full Internal Developer Platform product lifecycle.
Secure the Enterprise — Work hand-in-hand with security, risk, and compliance teams to embed protection into every layer of the platform — making security a feature, not a bottleneck.
Drive Engineering Excellence — Champion best practices, optimize performance, and establish scalable automation patterns — including AI-augmented operational practices — that elevate the entire organization's engineering maturity.
Developer Experience - Obsessively refactor IaC modules to ensure they are so intuitive, self-documenting, and foolproof that developers can provision complex infrastructure in seconds, not hours.
Own the IaC developer experience end-to-end: build agentic workflows and tooling, author custom Terraform providers in Go, and expose Terraform Enterprise capabilities through thoughtfully designed interfaces that make every internal customer's interaction feel effortless
