- Partner with Software Engineering, Platform Engineering, DevOps, Security, Product, and Architecture teams to improve system reliability.
- Design and maintain observability solutions covering monitoring, logging, tracing, metrics, dashboards, and alerting.
- Drive implementation and optimization of Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, and cloud-native platforms.
- Establish practices for capacity planning, performance optimization, disaster recovery, business continuity, and resilience testing.
- Identify reliability risks, technical debt, operational bottlenecks, and single points of failure and drive their remediation.
- Develop and enforce standards for production readiness, release management, deployment strategies, and operational excellence.
- Drive DevOps, automation, and self-service initiatives to improve developer productivity and reduce operational overhead.
- Monitor infrastructure and application performance and proactively identify opportunities to improve availability, latency,



scalability, and efficiency.
- Drive cloud infrastructure cost optimization and FinOps initiatives while maintaining reliability and performance.
- Evaluate and adopt new tools and technologies for monitoring, automation, infrastructure management, and reliability engineering.
- Hire, mentor, coach, and develop SRE, DevOps, and Platform Engineers.
- Conduct performance reviews, career planning, and technical mentoring to build a high-performing engineering team.
- Communicate reliability metrics, operational risks, incidents, and improvement initiatives to engineering leadership and senior stakeholders.
