Your new dream job
- Automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Automate repetitive tasks, deployments, and system management to reduce human error and improve efficiency. This may involve creating scripts, CI/CD pipelines, or automating infrastructure provisioning.
- Collaboration with Development and SRE Teams: Work closely with developers and SREs to align platform capabilities with application requirements. Provide tools and frameworks that promote best practices in CI/CD, testing, and deployment.
- Reliability and Performance Optimization: Continuously improve system uptime by identifying bottlenecks and optimizing system architecture.
- Capacity Planning and Scaling: Assess and predict system resource requirements (CPU, memory, storage) to ensure the infrastructure can scale with increasing demand. Implement auto‑scaling solutions to handle load spikes without human intervention, ensuring systems remain performant under various conditions.
- System Monitoring and Incident Response: Monitor system performance, uptime, and reliability using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or ElasticSearch. Detect and respond to issues before they impact users. Manage incidents, outages, and failures quickly, aiming to minimize downtime. This includes incident documentation, communication, and post‑incident analysis.
