- Deploy and manage workloads on AWS services such as ECS, EKS, Lambda, API Gateway, and CloudWatch.
- Implement CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, infrastructure automation, and observability tooling.
- Define and execute testing strategies including unit, integration, and regression testing.
- Contribute to low-level designs, code reviews, and technical documentation.
- Debug and resolve production issues, improving reliability and performance.
- Mentor junior engineers through reviews and pair programming.
- Use AI tools to improve engineering productivity, testing, and documentation.
