 * Troubleshoot and support integrations between systems and services, responding to requests from engineering teams.
 * Evolve tooling that began in a single team into shared, reusable tooling once it shows broad cross-team value.
 * Investigate and resolve issues, and validate that updates don't break existing functionality.
 * Maintain and improve build, test and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
 * Run containerised services on cloud infrastructure and keep them running reliably.
 * Package, version and document internal tooling so other engineers can adopt it easily.
 * Monitor system health and escalate recurring issues that need broader attention., * You'll work with the engineering teams across the business who use the tools, services and integrations you maintain.
 * Tools include open-source software, containerisation and CI/CD.
