• Champion Professional Development: Create tailored development plans, training programs, and career pathways to upskill the team in coding, DevOps practices, and leadership.
• Ensure Compliance and Security: Partner with security and compliance teams to implement robust controls, ensuring infrastructure meets regulatory standards.
• Innovate and Improve: Identify opportunities to leverage emerging technologies to enhance infrastructure efficiency and resilience.
• Mentor: Guide fellow team of system administrators, fostering their growth in IaC and automation skills, while onboarding and developing new developer hires. Provide hands-on mentorship to build a high-performing, collaborative team culture.
