Automation & Continuous Improvement:
- Use Infrastructure as Code and automation to improve consistency, scalability, and reliability across environments.
- Continuously improve SRE processes, tooling, and monitoring while maintaining compliance constraints.
- Identify operational risks and drive improvements that reduce incident frequency and impact.
Documentation & Collaboration:
- Create and maintain clear, high-quality documentation, including runbooks and operational guides, explaining both the what and the why.
- Work closely with engineering, security, and infrastructure teams to support deployments and troubleshoot production issues.
- Contribute to hiring efforts by participating in interviews and evaluating SRE candidates when needed.
