- Collaborate closely with data engineering, application, and platform teams to deliver reliable, automated deployment workflows.
- Optimise cloud costs and resource utilisation across development and production environments.
- Contribute to ongoing infrastructure modernisation, adopting best practices for security, compliance, and scalability.
