You will bring structure and scalability to our systems, collaborating closely with developers and leadership to strengthen our AWS-based architecture, modernize internal tooling, and enhance security and compliance practices without disrupting distributed team productivity. This role involves supporting current systems and shaping future infrastructure foundations.
