• Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration management and routine operational tasks.
• Work with engineering teams to integrate automated testing, quality gates and security checks into CI/CD pipelines.
• Implement monitoring, logging and alerting to support application and infrastructure reliability.
• Support containerisation and orchestration technologies, including Docker and Kubernetes.
• Manage environment configuration, dependencies, secrets and deployment artefacts.
• Implement secure development and deployment practices in collaboration with cyber security and architecture teams.
• Troubleshoot pipeline failures, deployment issues, infrastructure problems and environment inconsistencies.
• Support release planning, deployment coordination, rollback processes and change management.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, deployment procedures and operational runbooks.
• Work with platform and application specialists to support the deployment and operation of enterprise data and analytics platforms.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering practices, automation and platform reliability.
