  • Process Improvement and Automation:
    • Identify opportunities to improve cloud operations through automation and process optimization. You’ll introduce tools and practices that streamline infrastructure management, reduce manual effort, and increase reliability.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration:
    • Work closely with development, product management, and other departments to ensure that cloud infrastructure aligns with the company’s overall objectives. You’ll be the bridge between cloud operations and the rest of the organization, ensuring that everyone is aligned.
