• Write clean, well-documented code in Python, Bash, and other languages to support internal process automation and platform operations.
• Build and manage containerized workloads using Kubernetes, Docker, and serverless technologies (Lambda, Azure Functions).
• Modernize and refactor: Refactor legacy repositories, scripts, and automation to improve maintainability, security, and performance.
• Identify opportunities to consolidate, standardize, and modernize tooling and codebases across the organization.
• Apply modern IT concepts (Infrastructure as Code, DevOps, Cloud Computing) to evolve the platform services environment.
• Steward development platforms: Serve as a steward of internal development platforms, such as GitHub — including org structure, repo access, change control, and governance.
• Implement tools and practices that make the lives of developers easier while maintaining appropriate guardrails and compliance.
• Champion standards for source control, branching strategies, and code promotion processes.
• Support and maintain existing solutions: Participate in a rotating on-call schedule to support platform services and respond to incidents.
• Facilitate troubleshooting and resolution of complex issues across supported platforms and automations.
• Develop and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and thorough documentation for all work products.
• Champion overall supportability of new capabilities and guide maintenance plans.
• Drive process excellence: Model quality and consistency in execution, seeking and providing feedback on what is working well and what is not.
• Promote reusable code opportunities to drive efficiency and standardization across development solutions.
• Invest in continuous learning regarding development languages, techniques, and computing platforms.
