Ensure audit readiness and operational support for SOC2 and other compliance requirements impacting product platforms. Operational Excellence & Reliability Define, implement, and enforce operational processes including documentation, runbooks, on-call practices, escalations, root cause analysis (RCA), and post-mortems. Ensure system availability, performance, reliability, and recoverability through strong SRE and DevOps practices. Investigate software and infrastructure-related issues, recommend solutions, and implement improvements to reduce MTTR and prevent recurrence. Support incident response and serve as an escalation point when necessary. Security & Compliance Implement and monitor security best practices to protect systems and data, ensuring compliance with SOC2 and other applicable standards. Deploy, manage, and improve Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions to support security monitoring, alerting, and audit readiness. Partner with Security and Engineering teams to embed security into CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure. Cloud & Infrastructure Management Manage and evolve cloud infrastructure (primarily AWS, with Azure exposure) and supporting services. Apply infrastructure-as-code practices (e.g., Terraform) to ensure consistency, scalability, and auditability. Support change management efforts related to legacy systems, new products, and acquisitions. Recommend and evaluate new tools and technologies that improve reliability, security, and developer productivity. Cross-Functional Collaboration Collaborate closely with Solutions Management (Product Management), Engineering, QA, Data Services, Internal Technology, Enterprise Security, and other stakeholders to align DevOps priorities with product roadmaps, delivery timelines, and customer outcomes. Participate in design and refinement discussions, providing operational and reliability-focused input. Assist in the creation of design documents, technical documentation, and training materials.
