Work closely with cross-functional teams to support data extraction, transformation, and integration workflows.
Implement and manage infrastructure using Terraform within AWS (with future alignment to GCP).
Participate in Agile ceremonies and contribute to 2-week sprint delivery cycles.
Troubleshoot complex technical issues and provide escalation support for platform-related challenges.
Mentor and support junior and mid-level engineers while remaining hands-on in development.
Collaborate with stakeholders to ensure technical solutions align with business needs, especially in regulated environments.
