• Define, implement, and champion observability standards, tooling, and guidelines across metrics, logs, traces, and SLIs/SLOs.
• Design and evolve monitoring and alerting solutions that improve visibility, reduce toil, and strengthen system health.
• Continuously drive reliability improvements across our environments through incident reduction, performance tuning, and building resilient patterns.
• Partner with Security teams to ensure our platforms meet compliance, security, and risk‑management expectations.
• Lead seamless handovers from project delivery into BAU SRE operations by ensuring documentation, readiness, and strong operational practices.
• Influence architectural and design decisions through data‑driven cloud cost optimization and efficiency initiatives.
