As a Tech Lead in a fast-paced startup environment, I'm responsible for shaping the technical direction and building a scalable, secure, and efficient cloud ecosystem. Within a small and highly dynamic team, I combine hands-on engineering with architectural leadership to establish modern best practices across the entire software lifecycle. Key responsibilities include: - Designing and implementing cloud architectures and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) standards to ensure consistency and scalability. - Building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines that enable automated testing, reliable releases, and faster delivery cycles. - Defining best practices for containerization, monitoring, observability, and performance optimization. - Embedding security design and compliance into every stage of development and deployment. - Partnering closely with developers to enhance release velocity, system reliability, and developer experience. - Continuously evaluating and adopting new technologies to drive scalability, maintainability, and operational excellence. This role bridges strategy and execution — fostering a DevOps culture that values automation, collaboration, and continuous improvement while staying deeply involved in day-to-day implementation.
