Implement and manage blue-green deployments, scaling strategies (horizontal and vertical), resiliency, and security postures.

Support Azure Container Apps (ACA) and Kubernetes platforms (AKS).

Work with messaging systems, webhooks, Azure Functions, and distributed integrations.

Support monitoring, logging, and observability using enterprise tools (e.g., ELK, Grafana).

Partner closely with global Dev, QA, and SRE team members to resolve infrastructure and reliability issues.

Research, learn, and apply new technologies and solutions as required.
