Performance & Scalability
- Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks and scaling challenges.
- Conduct load testing and capacity planning for high-traffic scenarios.
Infrastructure & Operations
- Enhance cloud-native infrastructure, deployment processes, and automation.
- Improve resilience, fault-tolerance, and recovery mechanisms across systems.
Observability
- Build and refine dashboards, alerts, metrics, logs, and traces.
- Define SLIs/SLOs and improve visibility into system behavior.
Tooling & Automation
- Develop tools that reduce operational toil and increase reliability.
- Contribute to infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, and GitOps workflows.
