 * Developing repeatable Infrastructure as Code and Git-based deployment practices.
 * Automating VM provisioning, configuration and standardisation.

 * Testing, troubleshooting and validating the platform as it progresses through development.
 * Helping establish engineering standards, deployment patterns and operational processes for the new environment.
