• Update documentation and operational runbooks

**In short:**
You ensure infrastructure stays automated, scalable, secure, and reliable while enabling fast and safe product delivery.

**Key Metrics (KPIs)**

• Deployment speed and reliability
• System uptime _(99.9%+ target)_
• Reduced incident recovery time _(MTTR)_
• Infrastructure cost optimization
• Developer satisfaction with deployment workflows
• Automation and operational efficiency improvements

**Why This Role Stands Out**

• High ownership over cloud infrastructure and automation
• Work on modern DevOps and Kubernetes environments
• Direct impact on scalability and engineering velocity
• Opportunity to grow into:

• Senior DevOps Engineer
• Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)
