  • Set standards for blue / green, canary, shadow deploy, and progressive rollouts.
  • Build reusable deployment templates and developer self-service mechanisms.
  • Reliability, Observability & Operations

  • Own organization-wide monitoring, logging, and alerting platforms (Prometheus, Loki, Grafana, New Relic).
  • Define SLOs / SLIs, reliability targets, and implement automated remediation workflows.
  • Lead incident response for high-severity issues and drive long-term fixes through RCAs.
  • Build platform-wide health dashboards, cluster insights, cost dashboards, and performance metrics.
  • Security & Compliance

  • Implement Kubernetes and cloud-native security best practices : IAM hardening, OPA / Gatekeeper policies, secret lifecycle, container scanning, and runtime security.
  • Automate compliance validations and enforce organization-wide DevSecOps policies.
  • Partner with security teams for penetration tests, threat modeling, and vulnerability management.
  • Technical Leadership & Collaboration

  • Mentor engineers and guide teams on DevOps, Kubernetes, and cloud architecture.
  • Lead technical design reviews, platform roadmap discussions, and cross-team initiatives.
