Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines to support repeatable, controlled releases across Development, Test, and Production environments.
Provision and configure AWS infrastructure as code (Terraform), including services such as AWS Glue, Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, VPC networking, VPN/Direct Connect connectivity, Route 53, security groups, and firewall controls to connect on-premises source systems.
Configure Git-based integration and deployment workflows for platforms such as Databricks or Snowflake to enforce version-controlled deployments.
