  • Troubleshoot infrastructure performance, scalability, reliability, and availability issues; implement mitigations to reduce risk and minimize downtime.
  • Participate in service-impacting incidents, drive rapid remediation, own root cause analysis, and ensure corrective actions are completed.
  • Serve as a technical escalation path for support teams requiring direct customer engagement.
  • Define and improve processes, procedures, and change-management practices to reduce operational risk for strategic customers.
  • Act as the strategic customer technical advocate when working with engineering teams to improve OCI reliability, usability, and operational readiness.
