• Manage and troubleshoot containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes in production environments
• Mentor junior engineers, providing guidance on technical best practices and career development.
• Ensure alignment with organizational standards and cloud governance policies (e.g., cloud gates), actively working towards compliance in all deployments, configurations, and operational practices across cloud environments.

Incident Management:

• Own the incident management lifecycle: detection, response, resolution, and post-mortem analysis.
• Conduct root cause analysis and implement preventive measures.
• Ensure change requests are properly assessed, documented, and executed with minimal impact

Change Management:

• Manage the change management process, ensuring controlled and efficient implementation of changes
• Assess the impact of proposed changes and mitigate potential risks.
• Ensure compliance with change management policies and procedures.
