Role Summary
We are looking for a cloud-first technical leader to oversee the reliability, security, and delivery of our core banking/insurance platforms running on [AWS/Azure/GCP].

- Embed security into the SDLC via cloud-native scanning, SBOM, IAM, and segregation-of-duties.
- Reduce toil through Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/Pulumi/CloudFormation), Helm, and self-service patterns.
3. Operational Readiness in Cloud Context
- Define go-live criteria for SIT, UAT, performance testing, dress rehearsals, and cloud migrations.
- Maintain monitoring/observability (Prometheus/Datadog/CloudWatch), runbooks, and support handover.
4. Technical Leadership & Cloud Governance
- Mentor engineers on cloud best practices, design reviews, and capability planning.
- Challenge vendor cloud proposals and negotiate technical trade-offs.
