  • Manual intervention is minimized or eliminated
  • Identify automation gaps and lead initiatives that reduce human effort, onboarding time, and operational risk.

Apply and promote SRE operational excellence practices, including:
  • Clear ownership and runbooks for platform components
  • Participation in on-call rotation as a platform reliability escalation point
  • Incident response, post-incident reviews, and problem management
  • Improve day-2 operations by standardizing upgrade/rollback strategies and reducing MTTD/MTTR.
  • Ensure platform operations align with security, compliance, and internal control requirements.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams across the organization to influence platform adoption, reliability standards, and cloud-native best practices.
