• Troubleshoot complex issues across the stack, resolve defects, and drive root cause analysis for recurring problems
• Promote automation‑first practices to reduce manual work and improve speed, reliability, and consistency
• Integrate security throughout the lifecycle by enabling continuous vulnerability assessment, risk management, and secure engineering controls
• Support incident management activities and coordinate remediation across internal teams and customer stakeholders
• Coordinate and communicate effectively with distributed teams and customers (internal and external) throughout the delivery lifecycle
