Design and implement automation and processes to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the teams and other support functions

Engage with business stakeholders to gather requirements, address concerns, and provide updates on projects and system status

Contribute to the design, build and operational management of the services

Lead incident response, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis to mitigate and prevent future issues

Work closely with engineering, support and operations teams to upskill and promote knowledge transfer, producing training materials and articles

Participate in on-call rotation to provide support and ensure system uptime

Experience with Azure DevOps Pipelines (or similar)

Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills

Ability to coach, mentor, and share knowledge with others

Experience collaborating with external clients and cross-functional teams
