• Contribute to infrastructure architecture discussions and technical design for the greenfield project.
• Maintain and improve infrastructure as code modules, ensuring consistency and repeatability.

• Mentor and support engineers, promoting best practices and knowledge sharing.
• Work cross-functionally with software engineers, platform teams, and technical leads to drive operational excellence.
• Help rationalise and reduce the toolset to a scalable, efficient, future-proof ecosystem.

Operational Excellence

• Establish standards for tooling usage, quality, and automation.
• Ensure continuous improvement of pipelines, build systems, and deployment workflows.

• Advanced experience with Terraform and modular IaC design.
• Proven ability to design and stand up scalable tooling platforms from scratch.
• Strong background in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Infrastructure roles.
• Ability to review and validate complex technical implementations.
