- Collaborate across teams on vulnerability management initiatives
- Establish clear visibility into dependencies and technology versions across repositories, including identifying unsupported or end-of-life packages and runtimes
- Strengthen secrets and service-account management practices, including automated credential rotation, dependency documentation, validation, and ongoing monitoring
- Work alongside engineers to help define and drive the team's adoption of containerization and Kubernetes
- Maintain operational documentation and runbooks while improving visibility into cross-system dependencies
- Identify repetitive operational work and engineer solutions to automate or eliminate unnecessary toil
- Identify and apply suitable AI-assisted approaches to boost engineering productivity, automate operational tasks, and speed up troubleshooting
