- Implement infrastructure testing including unit tests with terraform-compliance, integration tests with Terratest, and policy tests across pull requests
- Collaborate with security, networking, and platform teams to embed guardrails directly into reusable modules and pipelines
- Standardize patterns for secrets management, identity federation, and least-privilege IAM through reusable Terraform abstractions
- Lead migrations from legacy, ClickOps, or non-IaC infrastructure into managed Terraform footprints with minimal disruption
- Drive cost optimization, tagging hygiene, and lifecycle management across the Terraform-managed estate
- Mentor engineering teams on Terraform best practices, anti-patterns, and pull-request review standards
- Maintain comprehensive runbooks, architecture diagrams, and onboarding materials for the infrastructure platform
