  • Design, build, and scale our multi-cloud infrastructure, developing, deploying and monitoring container-based services using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and serving large scale Fortune 500 enterprises.
  • Architect and own our core customer data processing framework powering data integration and enabling new users to onboard at record speed.
