In this role, you’ll work closely with developers, product managers, and user support teams to monitor system performance, resolve technical issues, and implement preventive measures. Your contributions will directly support smooth operations, high uptime, and reliable services for our users.

  • Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) pipelines to reduce manual configuration drift.

Observability & Incident Readiness

  • Integrate alerting with central NOC/SOC for faster escalation and resolution.

Collaboration & Enablement

  • Serve as the bridge between app teams and infra teams, enabling self-service for troubleshooting.
