 * Implement and manage containerized workloads using Docker and orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes
 * Improve system performance, scalability, reliability, and observability through monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions
 * Contribute across the full development lifecycle including design, development, testing, deployment, troubleshooting, and support
 * Collaborate with cross-functional teams to streamline deployment processes and enhance developer experience
 * Troubleshoot and resolve issues across development, staging, and production environments
 * Ensure security, compliance, and best practices across platform architecture, infrastructure, and delivery pipelines
 * Participate in architecture discussions, influencing technical direction, high availability, disaster recovery, and performance optimization
 * Estimate effort, assess risk, and evaluate system impact for new features and platform changes
