Implement and manage a comprehensive observability strategy using logging, monitoring, tracing, and alerting tools (e.g., Datadog, New Relic, Prometheus/Grafana). Define SLOs/SLIs to guarantee platform health.
Automate Everything:
Drive an automation culture across the engineering organization. Identify and eliminate bottlenecks in development and operational workflows by building targeted solutions.
Lead Infrastructure Security & Compliance:
Partner with the engineering team to implement and automate security best practices across all layers of the stack. Ensure infrastructure meets stringent requirements for compliance and cyber insurance.
