• Manage and optimize AWS CodePipeline integrations; ensure seamless CI/CD workflows across AWS services

• Manage platform tools and services (SonarQube, JFrog, Octopus Deploy, Kong, Kiro), including configuration, upgrades, troubleshooting, and documentation

• Oversee Code Assistant (Kiro) management (Licensing, usage metrics, user support, and optimization)

• Design and implement centralized logging, monitoring, and tracing solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, CloudWatch, Jaeger, OpenTelemetry) across all platforms

• Migrate and manage platform tools to Kubernetes environments; design Helm charts and manage Kubernetes deployments

• Automate operational procedures and infrastructure improvements using scripting and IaC; identify and implement automation opportunities

• Participate in on-call rotations; respond to and resolve critical platform incidents with minimal customer impact

• Collaborate with development teams to capture requirements and translate them into platform improvements

• Document architecture, runbooks, and operational procedures; maintain up-to-date knowledge base

• Participate in capacity planning, cost optimization, and vendor management discussions
