 * Maintain and improve Kubernetes infrastructure used by internal DevOps platforms.
 * Build and maintain monitoring, alerting, dashboards, and playbooks using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana and Loki
 * Respond to incidents, perform root-cause analysis, implement corrective actions, and improve platform reliability.
 * Own and support CI/CD platform operations, including build/deploy pipelines, automation, release workflows, and developer support
 * Operate and improve GPU Platform, including model-serving infrastructure, API reliability, usage monitoring, resource management and platform troubleshooting.
 * Work directly with factory engineers, citizen developers, HQ/Taylor counterparts, and internal platform users to support adoption, resolve issues, and improve platform capabilities.
