  • Monitoring & Observability: Build and maintain robust observability systems. Standardize applications that no longer meet our current monitoring best practices. Define and monitor SLAs, SLOs, and other key service health metrics, ensuring teams have the necessary tools to meet operational goals. Manage and optimize cloud costs to ensure they remain in check.
  • Automation and Efficiency: Automate repetitive tasks across deployment pipelines, monitoring, alerting, and scaling to reduce manual effort and improve reliability.
