• Implement and maintain monitoring, logging, alerting, and observability capabilities to identify infrastructure degradation, capacity constraints, performance issues, and potential service disruptions before they impact users.
• Participate in incident response, troubleshooting, and root‑cause analysis for production infrastructure events and develop corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
• Define and maintain infrastructure reliability standards, including Service Level Indicators (SLIs), Service Level Objectives (SLOs), availability targets, recovery time objectives (RTOs), and recovery point objectives (RPOs).
• Develop, maintain, and regularly validate disaster recovery procedures through recovery exercises, failover testing, and infrastructure restoration testing.
• Evaluate cloud infrastructure capacity, performance, availability, and scalability and recommend architectural or operational improvements.
• Partner with application development, cybersecurity, DevOps, and platform engineering teams to establish standardized deployment patterns and resilient cloud architectures.
