• Develop dashboards, monitoring standards, alerting frameworks, and reliability reporting mechanisms.
• Lead incident response efforts for critical production events, including root cause analysis and long-term corrective actions.
• Drive post-incident reviews focused on systemic improvements rather than individual fault.

Cloud Operations & Resilience

• Improve platform performance, availability, scalability, disaster recovery, and business continuity capabilities.
• Validate backup, restoration, and recovery processes through regular testing and continuous improvement efforts.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to implement resilient architectures capable of meeting defined reliability and compliance objectives.
• Support operational readiness reviews for new services and platform capabilities.

Engineering Excellence & Leadership

• Mentor engineers and provide technical leadership in reliability engineering practices.
• Partner with development teams to improve application reliability throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Establish and promote a culture of automation, ownership, continuous learning, and operational excellence.
• Stay current on emerging technologies and industry best practices within cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, AI-assisted operations, and Site Reliability Engineering.

On-Call & Operational Excellence

• Participate in a shared on-call rotation supporting production environments.
• Drive initiatives focused on reducing operational toil through automation, self-healing systems, and platform improvements.
• Continuously improve incident response processes and platform reliability practices.
