• Collaborate Across Teams: Work with software engineers to improve development workflows and ensure seamless migration to containerized systems.
• Develop CI/CD Pipelines: Build and manage pipelines to support both traditional VM-based and Kubernetes-based applications.
• Monitor & Document: Maintain system health, document infrastructure changes, and participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation for critical alerts.
