- Promote idempotent, automated, and repeatable infrastructure patterns, reducing manual operations.
- Guide the development of reusable modules and templates for consistent cloud provisioning.
Platform Reliability & Observability
- Establish SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets for critical services.
- Oversee observability standards (monitoring, logging, tracing) and promote a culture of proactive detection and resolution.
- Drive initiatives to minimize downtime and operational toil through automation and self-healing systems.
Security & Compliance
- Embed security controls and compliance requirements (IAM, network segmentation, encryption) into infrastructure patterns by default.
- Act as the cloud security champion, partnering with InfoSec to ensure adherence to security standards and audits.
Cost & Performance Optimization
- Define FinOps best practices, monitor cloud spend, and recommend optimizations.
- Proactively right-size infrastructure, leverage reserved capacity, and ensure efficient use of resources.
Mentoring & Knowledge Sharing
- Coach and mentor cloud engineers, enabling them to grow their technical depth and autonomy.
- Lead internal workshops and technical talks to raise the bar across the engineering organization.
