- Promote practical engineering benchmarks and operational best practices
- Design and implement automation to simplify cloud administration
- Detect and evaluate technical risks alongside enhancement opportunities
- Enhance system observability, resilience, reliability, and security measures
- Mentor and supply technical direction to members of the Platform Engineering group
- Execute hands-on engineering tasks, remediation work, and automation initiatives
Requirements
- Minimum of seven years of practical experience in cloud or platform engineering
- Demonstrated ability to shift team operations from reactive handling to proactive cloud management
- Background in formulating or upgrading lifecycle management, patching, and upgrade workflows
- Experience in establishing technical priorities and engineering protocols
