Maintain operational dashboards and Grafana/CloudWatch alerts, ensuring uptime and SLO compliance.
Execute post-incident root cause analyses (RCAs) and document permanent fixes in runbooks.
Support deployment automation and GitOps processes (Argo CD, GitHub Actions, Helm).
Validate compliance of services with security, reliability, and cost optimisation standards.
Collaborate with Platform engineers to automate recurring tasks and improve operational efficiency.
Ensure backup verification, log retention, and audit readiness for all managed components.
Required Skills & Experience
3-5 years of production support or site reliability experience in cloud-native environments.
Solid understanding of AWS EKS, RDS, CloudWatch, IAM, S3, and Lambda.
Experience with Kubernetes, Helm, GitOps, and CI/CD pipelines.
Competence in Typescript, Python, Bash, or Go scripting for automation.
Familiarity with Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, and incident management practices (ITIL).
Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across platforms, security, and development teams.
