- Mentor and guide a team of DevOps Engineers, assigning tasks and ensuring quality execution.
- Design and implement CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, with an emphasis on security, maintainability, and scalability.
- Integrate static and dynamic code analysis tools (e.g., SonarQube) into the CI/CD process.
- Manage secure access to AWS services using IAM roles, least privilege principles, and container-based identity (e.g., workload identity).
- Create and manage Helm charts for Kubernetes deployments across multiple environments.
- Conduct data migrations between S3 buckets, PostgreSQL databases, and other data stores, ensuring data integrity and minimal downtime.
- Troubleshoot and resolve infrastructure and deployment issues, both in local containers and Kubernetes clusters.

- Describe container lifecycle, troubleshooting steps, and security hardening practices.
- Detail Kubernetes architecture, Helm chart design, and access control configurations.
- Show a deep understanding of AWS IAM, networking, service integrations, and cost-conscious design.
- Discuss TLS certificate lifecycle, trusted CA usage, and implementation in cloud-native environments.

Preferred Qualifications

- AWS Certified DevOps Engineer or equivalent certifications.
