• Partner with software engineers, SRE/DevOps, and stakeholders to deliver platform capabilities and support application teams.
• Troubleshoot complex production and infrastructure issues; perform root cause analysis; implement preventative fixes and runbooks.
• Improve engineering workflows via automation and modern SDLC practices (CI/CD, testing, linting, code review standards).
