Partner with data, security, and app teams to provide standardized patterns for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), secret/PII protection, and least-privileged access to data sources. Document golden paths and developer guides that simplify adopting AI/agent capabilities. Security, Reliability and Cost Embed practical security into designs (network segmentation, KMS, identity, secret management, private endpoints) and support compliance controls. Apply FinOps practices (tagging, budgets, anomaly detection, right-sizing) to optimize cost-to-serve. Enablement and Collaboration Translate application-team needs into backlog items and platform features; evangelize adoption with clear docs, examples, and workshops. Contribute to community of practice sessions; share learnings on performance, security and usability in complex systems. qualifications: 35 years in cloud/platform engineering or SRE, working with distributed systems in AWS and/or Azure.
