- Establish capacity planning, backup, recovery, and disaster-recovery practices.
- Improve infrastructure performance, stability, and cost efficiency.
Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure

- Improve visibility into service health and performance, alert quality, and operational noise.
Reliability and incident management
- Define SLIs, SLOs, SLAs, and error budgets; establish reliability standards and partner with engineering teams to apply them throughout development.
- Lead critical production incident response, establish escalation processes, and lead root-cause analysis and blameless post-mortems.
- Translate incidents into engineering improvements and help structure the on-call rotation.
Security and technical leadership
- Embed infrastructure and cloud security practices covering access, secrets, network, CI/CD, and runtime security.
- Support security, compliance, and audit-readiness needs where relevant.
- Set SRE and infrastructure engineering direction, standards, and best practices; review architecture and major changes.
