• Monitoring & Observability – Implement and manage monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to ensure system health and performance.
• Configuration Management & Automation – Leverage tools (e.g. Cloudformation or similar) to automate infrastructure and application management.
• Security & Compliance – Enforce security best practices (IAM, secrets management, patching, vulnerability scanning) and ensure compliance with standards.
• Incident Response & Troubleshooting – Lead root cause analysis and resolution of production issues, ensuring minimal downtime.
• Cost Optimization – Monitor and optimize cloud resource usage to balance performance and cost efficiency.
• Collaboration with Development Teams – Work closely with developers to integrate DevOps practices, improve workflows, and provide infrastructure guidance.
• Scalability & Reliability Engineering – Design and implement systems that can handle growth while maintaining resilience and performance.
• Mentorship & Best Practices – Guide engineers, advocate for DevOps culture, and define standards for automation, deployment, and operations.
