• Design and enforce infrastructure-as-code (IaC) standards using Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi across environments.
• Lead implementation of DevSecOps best practices including vulnerability scanning, secrets management, policy-as-code (OPA/Conftest), and secure CI/CD flows.
• Design and optimize VPC, Subnet, Routing, VPN, Peering, and hybrid network topologies ensuring zero-trust principles.
• Manage IAM roles, policies, service accounts, federated access and enforce least-privilege models using automation.
• Enable infrastructure observability using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, or Cloud-native monitoring stacks.
• Lead Kubernetes and container strategy including security hardening, deployment automation, cost optimization, and multi-cluster governance.

Leadership & Team Building:

• Lead and mentor a team of DevOps engineers, infrastructure specialists, and cloud platform engineers.
• Drive technical reviews, root cause analysis (RCA), and retrospectives — ensuring continuous improvement in operations.
• Define DevOps standards, enforce code quality, and set clear KPIs for infrastructure performance and uptime.
• Collaborate closely with developers, architects, product managers, and security teams to drive platform scalability and reliability.
• Communicate effectively with senior management and stakeholders — presenting technical roadmaps, risks, and progress.

Security, Compliance, and Governance:

• Implement secure infrastructure aligned with ISO 27001, SOC2, NIST, or industry-specific standards.
• Automate governance using tools like Sentinel, OPA/Gatekeeper, and integrate security into the CI/CD lifecycle.
• Lead incident response processes for infrastructure-level security or availability incidents.
