  • Drive environment readiness (Pre-Prod, UAT, Production) in alignment with enterprise change management processes.
  • Establish and monitor operational SLAs, uptime metrics, and performance KPIs.
  • Ensure strong security posture, compliance with IAM policies, and integration with enterprise authentication frameworks.
  • Oversee patching, upgrades, and lifecycle management for all open-source components (Spark, Trino, Airflow, NiFi, Ranger, etc.).
  • Lead incident response, root-cause analysis, and postmortems to ensure platform stability and continuous improvement.
