• Break down operational initiatives into actionable projects and lead their execution.
• Mentor junior engineers and guide best practices in platform operations.
• Provide on-call support rotation for platform stability.
• Report directly to the CTO, providing updates on platform health, risks, and opportunities.

What you will bring:

• 2+ years of professional experience in platform operations, cloud infrastructure, or DevOps.
• Real-world experience with SQL and cloud-based data systems.
• Proficiency in AWS services (ECS, EKS, RDS, Lambda, Secrets Manager, etc.).
• Infrastructure as Code expertise, with CloudFormation (primary) and Terraform (secondary).
• Experience with container orchestration and infrastructure automation (Git, CI/CD, Docker).

Nice to have:
