  • Manage platform capacity, performance, high availability, backup and disaster recovery processes.
  • Define and track SLO/SLA metrics; implement alerting and on-call procedures.
  • Follow new-generation DevOps practices and play an active role in application integrations.
  • Work collaboratively with development, QA, infrastructure and security teams, and produce the necessary documentation and runbooks.
