• Automate CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions) and promote releases across environments; drive continuous integration, testing, and delivery practices per our DevOps family guidance.
• Observe and optimize instrument services, collect logs/metrics, tune autoscaling (HPA, cluster autoscaler), and troubleshoot AKS issues end to end.
• Collaborate in Agile ceremonies (planning, refinement, demos, retros) and contribute to high quality stories, acceptance criteria, and test coverage consistent with product team norms.
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to coding standards, patterns, and operational runbooks; assist with incident response and post mortems to improve reliability.
