Proven ability to translate multi-year strategy into squad-level roadmaps with measurable OKRs and clear dependency management across the stack.
Strong experience co-owning global platforms with distributed teams, driving alignment on priorities, architectural decisions, and operating model without escalation dependency.
5+ years of hands-on AWS engineering experience (not just conversational cloud literacy)
Expertise in cloud governance, entitlements, or policy systems, IAM/RBAC, and policy guardrails at enterprise scale
Exposure to cloud economics / FinOps including cost attribution and optimization
Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, Crossplane, or CDK
Strong background in distributed systems including Kubernetes, APIs, and event-driven architecture
Ability to review and reason about Python/JavaScript code and infrastructure patterns
Experience designing or integrating AI / agentic capabilities into platform products, not just awareness; have shipped or materially influenced AI capabilities with measurable impact (TTR, reduced human engagement, improved compliance).
Understanding of modern architecture: microservices, APIs, and security-by-design
Experience in Agile/DevOps environments with CI/CD and SLO-driven operations
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent
Nice to have: AWS/Azure certifications, developer platform experience, FinOps tooling, AIOps exposure
