• Build strategic relationships with vendors in the observability, incident response, and cloud infrastructure domains
• Responsibly adopt AI-assisted and agentic workflows for alert triage, incident mitigation, postmortems, trend analysis, capacity planning, SLO analysis, and self-service knowledge
• Keep qualified humans in the decision loop for production-impacting actions
