In addition, maintain and monitor the deployment and orchestration of servers, docker containers, databases, and general backend infrastructure. Document system knowledge as you acquire it, create runbooks, and ensure critical system information is readily accessible. Security Management: Stay updated with security protocols and proactively identify, diagnose, and resolve complex security issues. Automation and Efficiency: Identify tasks and areas where automation can be applied to achieve time efficiencies and risk reduction. Develop software for deployment automation, packaging, and monitoring visibility. Issue Tracking and Resolution: Use Atlassian tool chain, first party cloud service management tools to track and resolve issues based on their priority. Team Collaboration and Influence: Work in tandem with other Cloud Infrastructure Engineers and developers to ensure maximum performance, reliability, and automation of our deployments and infrastructure. Additionally, consult and influence developers on new feature development and software architecture to ensure scalability.
