• Troubleshoot environment issues, analyze root causes, and continuously improve system reliability, scalability, and maintainability.
• Collaborate with Engineering, QA, and Security teams to enforce cloud governance, IAM policies, data protection, and compliance standards.
• Perform capacity planning, cost optimization, performance tuning, and resource usage analysis across cloud infrastructure.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Management

• Work closely with product engineering teams to understand system requirements and implement scalable, secure, and automated infrastructure solutions.
• Provide guidance and support on DevOps principles, cloud best practices, and operational excellence across teams.
• Document system architectures, operational runbooks, and deployment processes to ensure knowledge continuity and transparency.
• Participate in on-call rotations, ensuring rapid incident response and high service availability.
