Build and own CI/CD pipelines that ship services (and ML models) to production safely — canary, rollback, progressive delivery.
Stand up observability and monitoring with Prometheus, New Relic, OpenTelemetry, and Grafana; define SLIs / SLOs and drive error-budget discipline.
Ensure high availability, security, and performance of production APIs and streaming data pipelines.
Partner with application, data, and ML engineers to integrate their workloads smoothly into the platform.
Implement autoscaling strategies (HPA, KEDA, traffic-driven) for variable, bursty traffic patterns.
Manage Pub/Sub and event-driven architectures for real-time messaging, engagement analytics, and inter-service communication.
Optimize hot-path services using Redis, Memcached, and other caching strategies.
Debug and tackle production issues around latency, scaling, and reliability.
