● Kubernetes Workload Management: Deploy, manage, and maintain application workloads, deployments, services, and configurations across Kubernetes clusters.
● Release & Hotfix Deployments: Lead scheduled production releases and emergency hotfix deployments with zero to minimal downtime.
● Platform Triage & Troubleshooting: Serve on triage rotations to rapidly diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve platform, build failure, Kubernetes cluster/pod, network, and infrastructure issues.
● Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Provision, manage, and automate cloud infrastructure using AWS CloudFormation and Terraform.
● DevSecOps Integration: Integrate and manage automated security scanning tools (SAST, DAST, SCA, container image scanning) directly into CI/CD pipelines.
● Secrets & Artifact Management: Secure pipeline credentials using AWS Secrets Manager / Vault; manage build artifacts in AWS ECR / Nexus / Artifactory.
● Release & Rollback Operations: Enforce Git branching strategies, implement automated rollbacks, and monitor pipeline health for rapid recovery. Required Skills
