  · Design and implement GitOps workflows using GitHub actions and/or ArgoCD for infrastructure and application deployments

  · Establish branch protection, code review gates, and automated validation pipelines for infrastructure PRs

  · Define and enforce GitOps standards across the team, onboarding colleagues to the new way of working

• Cloud Operations & SRE

  · Own reliability, availability and scalability of cloud infrastructure across AWS environments

  · Define and track SLOs/SLIs; build alerting, dashboards and runbooks to support operational excellence
