- Define and evolve core platform components and subsystems (cloud, Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, security).
- Establish standards and guardrails for infrastructure as code, releases, configuration, and access management.
- Ensure DevOps processes, tooling, and documentation support GxP, Computer System Validation (CSV), audit readiness, and traceability requirements.

- Validate disaster recovery: backups, restores, and recovery tests.
- Optimize cloud cost and performance; implement autoscaling and lifecycle policies.
- Drive automation for build, integration, testing, and deployments.
- Ensure DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines comply with GxP, validation, and documentation standards.
