• Monitoring and Logging: Implement and manage monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions to ensure high availability and performance of the infrastructure.
• Collaboration: Work closely with development teams, architects’ team and infrastructure team to ensure seamless integration of DevOps practices throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Public cloud (in the future): Design, implement, and maintain highly available and scalable infrastructure using best practices for security, cost-efficiency and performance.
