• Build and enforce fully reproducible infrastructure environments using Infrastructure as Code.
• Define and meet uptime targets that financial institution customers contractually depend on.
• Build and improve monitoring, alerting, and incident response capabilities to identify production issues before they affect customers.
• Mature the on-call practice into a structured, repeatable operational process.
• Implement change management, access controls, and audit logging that generate appropriate evidence for regulated financial institution requirements.
