• Design and implement multi-region availability and DR strategies to ensure business continuity, RTO/RPO compliance, and resilience for mission-critical wealth management systems
• Database and storage backup monitoring
• Infrastructure monitoring and incident management
• Build observability, reliability, and security guardrails onto the platform from day one
• Establish real-time monitoring and continuous surveillance of system health (e.g., 3rd party data pipelines).
• Incident response, serving as first line of defense for outages. Includes troubleshooting bottlenecks and executing RCAs (Root Cause Analysis) for continuous improvement.
