- Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and GitOps tools (FluxCD/ArgoCD).

- Administer and operate Kubernetes clusters (AKS preferred) and manage deployments with Helm/Kustomize.

- Define and monitor SLA/SLO/SLIs to drive system reliability and performance improvements.

- Own and improve observability using Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, Mimir, and related tools.

- Set up and manage infrastructure as code with Terraform or Terragrunt across cloud environments (Azure focus).

- Participate in incident response, perform root cause analysis, and implement permanent resolutions.

- Collaborate with application developers to debug and tune microservices (Node.js, Go, or similar).
