Implement AI-powered operational solutions, including intelligent monitoring, anomaly detection, predictive analytics, automated remediation, and self-healing infrastructure.
Configure and manage cloud networking components, including virtual networks, VPNs, firewalls, DNS, load balancers, and secure connectivity.
Administer identity and access management (IAM), role-based access control (RBAC), and cloud security policies.
Manage secrets, encryption keys, and certificates using Azure Key Vault, Google Cloud KMS, or equivalent security services.
Monitor infrastructure health, application performance, and system availability using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, and other observability platforms.
Troubleshoot infrastructure, deployment, and performance issues while implementing automation to improve incident response and operational efficiency.
Optimize cloud resource utilization and costs through automation, tagging strategies, autoscaling, budgeting, and resource rightsizing.
Collaborate with software development, security, and infrastructure teams to support cloud adoption, DevOps initiatives, and production deployments.
Ensure development, testing, staging, and production environments remain secure, standardized, and fully automated.
Maintain comprehensive documentation for infrastructure architecture, automation workflows, operational procedures, disaster recovery, and deployment standards.
Evaluate emerging cloud technologies, DevOps tools, AIOps platforms, and DevSecOps practices to drive continuous improvement.
