Monitor application and infrastructure health using platforms such as Datadog, Splunk, and Amazon CloudWatch. Troubleshoot production infrastructure, middleware, networking, deployment, and performance issues affecting Java applications. Participate in incident response, root-cause analysis, problem management, disaster-recovery exercises, and high-availability planning. Provide production support as part of a 24x7 on-call rotation.
