- Design efficient monitoring, dashboards, health checks, and actionable alerts while reducing noise and alert fatigue.
- Lead production troubleshooting across applications, Linux, containers, Kubernetes, AWS, databases, storage, networks, identity systems, and CI /CD services.
- Conduct root-cause analyses and convert recurring incidents into permanent fixes, automation, or monitoring improvements.
- Create, organize, test, and maintain support runbooks, escalation procedures, architecture documentation, and operational knowledge bases. Design and test disaster-recovery scenarios with defined RTOs and RPOs.
- Mentor team members and collaborate with engineering, infrastructure, security, identity, compliance, and vendor teams.
