Create self-service tools and frameworks that enhance developer productivity

 

Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions using tools like Stackdriver, Prometheus, or Grafana

 

Optimise system performance and ensure high availability through effective scaling strategies

 

Conduct root cause analysis for incidents and implement preventative measures

 

Embed security considerations early in the development process (Shift Left approach)

 

Ensure platform security through IAM policies, VPC design, and proper data encryption practices

 

Monitor and address vulnerabilities and security risks within the platform

 

Ensure compliance with relevant regulations and internal policies

 

About You
