• Lead incident response and post-incident reviews, driving continuous improvements in reliability, performance, and cost optimization.
• Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve software defects to maintain application stability and performance.
• Contribute to and enhance QA automation to ensure reliable, high-quality releases.
