on latency-sensitive and high-availability services.

● Monitor system performance, conduct root cause analysis, and implement observability

best practices (metrics, logging, tracing).

● Harden infrastructure and deployments with infrastructure as code

(Terraform/CDK/CloudFormation).

● Lead incident response, system reliability efforts, and infrastructure scalability initiatives.

● Manage messaging queues (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ) and optimize for low-latency event

handling and throughput.

● Contribute to evolving our security posture, including secrets management, access

controls, and audit logging.

GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or similar.

● Experience with messaging systems (RabbitMQ, Kafka, etc.) and event-driven

architectures.

● Proficiency in infrastructure as code (Terraform preferred).

● Familiarity with monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, etc.) and system tuning.

● Security-conscious mindset; experience implementing controls in regulated or financial

environments is a plus.
