**FinOps & Security:** Partner with finance and security to optimize AWS spending (Savings Plans, right-sizing) while ensuring IAM policies, KMS encryption, and VPC configurations meet compliance standards.

**Mentorship & On-Call Management:** Set sustainable on-call rotation policies to prevent burnout and mentor junior and mid-level SREs.

● **AWS Mastery:** Deep hands-on experience across core AWS services (EKS, Lambda, RDS S3, Route 53, Transit Gateway).
