and define and track service-level indicators, service-level objectives, and error budgets that drive prioritization with service owners and reduce operational toil.\nLead major incident response, problem management, and root cause analysis, ensuring corrective actions are engineered and verified.\nDrive adoption of AI-enabled operations - intelligent automation of operational workflows, AI-driven incident detection, root cause analysis and predictive monitoring, and AI-assisted knowledge management - with clear guardrails on what AI is permitted to action autonomously.\nEnsure platform patterns, modules, and guardrails produce cost-attributable, appropriately sized infrastructure by default, and partner with the Cloud Operations FinOps specialist to convert cost findings into engineered change without compromising reliability or security.\nProvide rotating 24/7 production engineering support for Cloud Operations, acting as a senior escalation point for complex AWS infrastructure and service issues and driving timely service restoration, technical troubleshooting and permanent remediation.\nWhat You Bring:\n7+ years of experience in AWS Cloud Engineering, Cloud Operations, Site Reliability Engineering, Platform Engineering, or DevOps.\nStrong expertise in designing and operating enterprise multi-account AWS environments -
