<li>Supporting and improving CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows</li>
<li>Helping operate and enhance our Kubernetes environments</li>
<li>Working with engineering teams to troubleshoot issues and improve reliability</li>
<li>Contributing to platform standards, documentation, and shared tooling</li>
<li>Automating repetitive tasks and removing manual processes</li>
</ul>
You won&rsquo;t be expected to have all the answers, but you will be expected to ask good questions, learn quickly, and take ownership of the solutions you help build.
Knowledge, Skills and Experience
