Key Responsibilities

  • Technical Leadership & Governance: Act as the final point of escalation for complex technical hurdles. Proactively conduct architecture reviews to optimize client environments for cost, reliability, and performance.
  • Security & Compliance: Embed security into the design phase.Architect comprehensive IAM hierarchies, network security perimeters, and compliance frameworks to meet industry standards.

  • Solid programming skills in Python, especially for developing APIs and automating tasks.
  • Experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines with tools like GitHub Actions and Google Cloud Build.
