  • Operate and improve Kubernetes (EKS) and Docker-based container environments.
  • Monitor performance, availability, and cloud spend — and drive measurable optimization initiatives.
  • Identify technical debt, scalability constraints, and reliability gaps, and propose practical improvements.
  • Modernize legacy workloads by containerizing and standardizing deployment patterns.
  • Partner with Security to ensure infrastructure aligns with SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, and CMMC requirements.
