• Compliance and auditing: Ensure that the infrastructure meets organizational, industry, and regulatory compliance standards by conducting regular audits and implementing automated compliance controls.
• Data protection: Implement and manage data encryption, backup, and disaster recovery (DR) plans to protect against data loss and system failure.
• Automation and project leadership:
• Drive automation: Increase the level of automation for recurring and trivial tasks to improve efficiency and reduce manual effort.
• CI/CD pipelines: Collaborate with DevOps teams to design and implement CI/CD pipelines that automate deployment and configuration processes.
• Strategic guidance: Provide technical leadership on high-impact projects and guide other teams on cloud best practices, strategy, and architecture.
• Collaboration and mentorship:
• Inter-team collaboration: Work closely with cloud architects, DevOps teams, and security teams to align on standards, requirements, and solutions.
• Mentorship and coaching: Mentor and train junior-level engineers, helping them to develop their technical skills and understand complex cloud technologies.
• Documentation: Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for architectures, operational procedures, and standards to ensure knowledge is shared and retained.
