  • Implement fault-tolerant mechanisms including redundancy, replication, automatic failover, circuit breakers, and timeouts.
  • Develop automation scripts and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to streamline troubleshooting and maintenance.
  • Build monitoring tools such as custom dashboards, telemetry systems, and automated alerting for component health.
  • Conduct performance testing, load testing, and fault-injection scenarios to ensure system correctness.
  • Participate in incident response, perform root cause analysis (RCA), and author operational runbooks.
  • Apply advanced security controls including encryption and access management in multi-tenant environments.
  • Manage infrastructure updates through established change management plans for patching and rolling back applications.

What we're looking for
