• Design and build self-healing automation and runbooks that detect known failure patterns and trigger remediation automatically, reducing manual intervention and recovery time for recurring incidents.
• Implement and maintain monitoring across multiple regions to ensure consistent visibility into system health, latency, and failover readiness across all deployment zones.
• Proactively identify potential failure points and performance bottlenecks before they impact production and reduce operational workload by automating recurring manual tasks.
• Drive ITSM process maturity across the organization, partnering with other teams to embed Incident and Problem Management best practices.
• Manage on-call structure, escalation paths, staffing, and operational readiness for the team.
• Report on reliability metrics, incident trends, and improvement initiatives to senior leadership.
