Build automated release pipelines for microservices, operators, and stateful workloads.

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.

Influence engineering decisions by providing architectural recommendations and operational insights.
