• Collaborate with engineering, security, architecture, and product teams.
• Support monitoring, observability, and operational excellence initiatives.
• Contribute to Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, refinement, stand-ups, and retrospectives.
• Drive continuous improvement and automation across the engineering lifecycle.
