Role Expectations

The AWS DevOps Architect will own the end-to-end DevOps and cloud automation architecture , ensuring that AWS workloads can be provisioned, built, tested, secured, deployed, monitored, scaled, recovered, and operated through standardized and highly automated processes.

This is an architecture plus hands-on technical leadership role , not simply a CI/CD administration position.
