- Design and implement high-availability, backup, recovery, and disaster-recovery solutions aligned with service requirements.
- Build and improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows to strengthen release reliability, security, and engineering efficiency.
- Implement monitoring, alerting, observability, and operational tooling that improve platform visibility and incident response.
- Partner with engineering leads to identify infrastructure improvements, contribute to technical roadmaps, and communicate recommendations to Product Management.
- Remain hands-on with implementation and complex troubleshooting, leading root-cause analysis and implementing improvements that prevent recurring issues.
- Evaluate and integrate AI-assisted engineering and operational tooling based on practical value, security requirements, and operational readiness.
