• Partner with teams to drive adoption through clear docs, examples, and measurable outcomes
• Codify infrastructure with Terraform and GitOps practices, and contribute to platform tooling in Go
• Define and improve SLOs, alerting, and operational readiness. Participate in incident response and preventive follow-ups
• Help standardize safe delivery patterns, including testing gates, canaries, and rollback triggers, so deployments are routine and low-risk
• Operate and scale multi-tenant EKS clusters and traffic and ingress systems to deliver secure, reliable routing
• Evaluate and adopt improvements with a bias toward incremental rollout and measurable impact
• Build and iterate on agentic workflows that reduce operational toil, including triage support, context gathering, safe runbook execution, and remediation suggestions
