• Build and tune centralized logging, monitoring, alerting, tracing, dashboards, and service-level indicators across cloud and on-premises environments.
• Conduct root-cause analysis for complex infrastructure, networking, application-platform, identity, performance, and availability incidents; implement corrective and preventive actions.
• Lead hands-on engineering efforts for complex migrations, modernization initiatives, workload refactoring, data migration, and hybrid-cloud transformations.
• Evaluate cloud services and prototype solutions to recommend fit-for-purpose technologies based on mission requirements, performance, cost, security, and operational constraints.
• Analyze cloud performance, availability, capacity, resiliency, and cost; implement optimization measures, autoscaling, backup, disaster-recovery, and recovery-validation solutions.
• Produce and maintain build documentation, runbooks, scripts, configuration baselines, implementation plans, test procedures, architecture diagrams, and operational procedures.
• Perform peer reviews of infrastructure code, cloud configurations, technical designs, implementation artifacts, and operational documentation.
