• Guide infrastructure decisions related to scalability, availability, resiliency, and cost.
Infrastructure as Code & Automation
• Architect and oversee development of IaC using AWS CDK at scale.
• Establish governance for multi account infrastructure (landing zones, security baselines).
• Implement fully automated CI/CD workflows using tools like CodePipeline, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins.
• Define security, compliance, tagging, and monitoring standards across all IaC artifacts.
