• DevOps and CI/CD: Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, infrastructure-as-code workflows, configuration management, and release automation.
• Infrastructure Troubleshooting: Diagnose complex issues involving compute resources, CPU and memory utilization, resource scheduling, networking, storage, operating systems, and application dependencies.
• Compute and Capacity Management: Understand workload requirements, resource allocation, capacity planning, performance tuning, and infrastructure optimization.
• Observability and Reliability: Implement and improve monitoring, logging, alerting, and troubleshooting practices to ensure platform availability and reliability.
• Operational Excellence: Automate repetitive operational tasks, improve platform scalability, reduce manual intervention, and contribute to incident management and root-cause analysis.
