• Develop automation scripts and internal tooling using Python (and optionally Golang) to reduce toil and improve engineering productivity.
• Implement comprehensive monitoring and alerting using Grafana, Alert Manager, and Pager Duty to proactively detect issues and minimize downtime.
• Ensure all platform components adhere to security best practices, access controls, and compliance requirements.
