• Build, manage, and scale infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and configuration management tools like Ansible.
• Collaborate closely with trading, engineering, and security teams to align infrastructure improvements with application demands.
• Implement robust security practices, including IAM, threat detection, and secure CI/CD pipelines, to support high-trust production environments.
• Apply low-level optimization strategies to improve throughput, reduce latency, and increase system efficiency across diverse environments.
