  3. Optimize Deployment Pipelines:
    Collaborate with DevOps teams to design and enhance CI/CD pipelines that integrate automation at each stage of development and deployment. You’ll ensure code is automatically tested, built, and deployed with minimal human intervention.
  4. Monitor and Improve Automation Performance:
    Utilize monitoring tools to track the performance of automation processes and identify opportunities for further optimization. You’ll maintain system reliability and ensure automation tasks run smoothly.
  5. Ensure Compliance and Security Standards:
    Integrate security best practices into automation workflows, ensuring that automated processes comply with industry standards and protect cloud environments. You’ll manage access controls and audit logs within automated processes.
  6. Collaborate on Cloud Architecture and Strategy:
    Work with cloud architects and engineering teams to ensure that automation aligns with broader cloud infrastructure strategies. You’ll contribute to planning and improving cloud resource utilization through automation.
  7. Maintain Comprehensive Documentation:
    Document automation workflows, scripts, and best practices. You’ll create user guides and technical documentation to support team members and enable knowledge sharing.
