  • Support vulnerability management, penetration testing remediation, and security patching processes
  • Ensure compliance with industry security standards and participate in security audits
  • Implement secure CI/CD practices including image scanning, SBOM generation, and supply chain security
Reliability & Observability

  • Build and maintain comprehensive observability across our multi-brand automotive infrastructure using Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and distributed tracing
  • Identify issues and areas for improvement to establish a culture of production excellence
