- Support and troubleshoot Azure PaaS and platform services used across the organization
- Champion secure cloud practices, including networking, identity, access management, secrets, and environment security
- Collaborate with security and engineering teams to improve reliability, observability, and overall security posture
- Provide technical mentorship and leadership to other DevOps engineers
- Participate in operational support, incident troubleshooting, and continuous improvement initiatives
