• Develop infrastructure as code using Terraform with reusable modules, secure delivery workflows, and controlled infrastructure modifications.

• Create backend services, internal tools, and operational automation utilizing Go, Python, or JavaScript/TypeScript.

• Collaborate with engineering and product teams to convert workload requirements into effective solutions focusing on reliability, performance, capacity, security, and cost.

• Enhance the production lifecycle through CI/CD, deployment automation, progressive delivery, and clearly defined operational ownership.

• Establish and refine observability practices spanning metrics, logs, traces, alerting, and dashboards.

• Engage in on-call duties, lead incident response, conduct root-cause analysis, and facilitate blameless postmortems and corrective actions.

• Set reliability benchmarks using SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, capacity planning, disaster-recovery tests, and resilience improvements.

• Integrate security and compliance measures into platform operations.

• Utilize AI-assisted and data-driven operational strategies to enhance signal detection, minimize alert noise, expedite root-cause analysis, and identify opportunities for automation.

• Actively participate in code reviews, documentation, knowledge sharing, and mentoring.
