  5. Security and Compliance: Ensure that all cloud infrastructure meets the highest standards of security and compliance. You’ll implement best practices in cloud security, data protection, and regulatory compliance, ensuring that our cloud environment is safe and trustworthy.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
