   • Collaborate with existing infrastructure specialists to manage and maintain hybrid on-premise + AWS environments.
2. Container Orchestration & Deployment
   • Use HashiCorp Nomad to deploy and scale containerized applications on on-premise edge nodes.
   • Extend deployment strategies to include AWS services where parts of the application stack are hosted.
3. CI/CD Pipeline Development
   • Design, implement, and maintain robust Gitlab CI/CD pipelines for containerized applications.
   • Continuously refine automation workflows for software build, test, and deployment stages.
4. Distributed Storage & Data Management
   • Work with a distributed file system (GlusterFS) to ensure high availability, replication, and fault tolerance.
   • Implement best practices for data redundancy, security, and efficient data access.
5. Security & Reliability
   • Ensure security hardening of systems, containers, and network endpoints.
   • Develop and follow best practices to maintain system reliability in a hybrid cloud/edge environment.
6. Collaboration & Leadership
   • Work alongside existing infrastructure and DevOps teams to identify areas of process improvement and lead automation initiatives.
   • Mentor junior team members and foster a culture of learning and continuous improvement.
