Create and maintain monitoring, alerting, and observability capabilities that improve visibility into system health, uptime, and application performance.

Work closely with construction, engineering, and field personnel to ensure technology reliability aligns with project schedules, operational demands, and safety expectations.

Implement automated infrastructure deployment and recovery processes using Infrastructure as Code and configuration management tools such as Terraform and Ansible.

Establish service reliability targets, manage service level objectives, and use error budgets to guide operational decisions and continuous improvement.

Strengthen the security posture of remote and field-deployed systems by improving hardening practices and secure access methods.

Provide guidance to less experienced engineers and help foster a culture centered on reliability, accountability, and operational excellence.

Identify process improvements that reduce inefficiencies, simplify support efforts, and improve overall service delivery.

Strong understanding of cloud platforms, enterprise networking, and edge computing concepts in distributed environments.
Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code, including tools such as Terraform and Ansible.
Proficiency with monitoring and observability platforms such as Splunk and Dynatrace, along with scripting or automation capabilities.
