- Manage and automate provisioning of Windows Server and Linux hosts in both on-prem (Hyper-V) and Azure IaaS/PaaS environments.
- Build and operate Kubernetes clusters (AKS in Azure, and/or on-prem distributions) including networking, storage, ingress, and workload onboarding.
- Own infrastructure-as-code: author and maintain reusable modules and templates so environments are reproducible and version-controlled.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, golden paths, and deployment automation that let teams ship safely without manual handoffs.
- Implement observability across the estate: monitoring, logging, alerting, and dashboards for both infrastructure and application health.
- Harden the platform to meet security and compliance requirements, and produce the evidence/automation needed to sustain audits.
- Document platform capabilities, runbooks, and standards, and support internal teams adopting them.
