## Description

1. Support, deploy, administer, and maintain ARC's Traverse AWS infrastructure platforms, both software and services, including AWS Managed Services (RDS, API Gateway, ELB, AMQ, Cognito, WAF, Lambdas, EC2, etc) and observability tools (Datadog, Cloudwatch, Opensearch). Identify updated industry standards and recommend improvements to company standards that support optimal systems operation. Ensure systems are secure by addressing data from vulnerability scans and AWS Security Tools (SecurityHub, Config, TrustedAdvisor, etc), recoverable by ensuring backups are up to date and replicated across regions, system availability, and leveraging infrastructure as code (CloudFormation, Terraform, Ansible, etc) and configuration management. Support software engineers and CI/CD Pipelines with automation, tools, and deployment (Jenkins, GitHub, BitBucket, CodeCommit, Atlassian tools, etc.).
 2. Provide infrastructure systems expertise by responding to atypical complex events and incidents escalated by other teams. Provide thought leadership towards capacity planning, system triage and maintenance activities to ensure a robust platform for our applications. Create proactive maintenance plans coordinated with stakeholders and other teams to prevent problems before they arise. Be on-call for production emergencies and troubleshooting.
 3. Provide expert-level skills using resource management and observability platforms as well as cost management tools and understand the requirements and architectural needs of such platforms. Additionally, work with engineering teams to identify resources that are candidates for performance and/or cost optimization.
 4. Provide subject matter expertise on setting up and using new or existing enterprise tools that require infrastructure and establish a full lifecycle management for the infrastructure.
 5. Define, develop, and document new approaches for maintaining infrastructure in scalable and efficient ways. Identify and create implementation plans for maintenance initiatives to ensure all technology platforms are current.
 6. Stay current with latest system administration tools, infrastructure platforms, patterns, and methodologies applicable to the platform engineering space. Coach peers and other stakeholders by documenting and sharing knowledge and clearly articulating ideas and results.
