• Implementing infrastructure and platform automation using Terraform and GitOps methodologies
• Driving self-healing, auto-scaling and failure recovery mechanisms using tools such as Karpenter
• Building secure, scalable networking and service communication (e.g. Cilium)
• Defining and operating observability platforms using Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo
• Partnering with DevOps and engineering teams to ensure production readiness and operational excellence
• Leading complex troubleshooting across distributed systems and cloud-native environments
• Developing reusable “golden paths”, operational runbooks and reliability patterns
• Ensuring platforms meet regulatory, security and operational risk requirements
• Using data, SLIs and metrics to drive continuous improvement and proactive reliability enhancements

The skills you'll need
