- Collaborate with Infrastructure, Security, Networking, and Application teams to support end-to-end platform lifecycle management.
- Participate in cloud migrations, VM migrations, decommission activities, and modernization initiatives.
- Monitor infrastructure health, troubleshoot production issues, and perform root cause analysis.
- Ensure operational readiness, documentation, observability, and compliance standards are maintained.
- Support infrastructure provisioning and deployment activities across lower and higher environments.
- Contribute to improving operational maturity through automation and process optimization.
