* Manage identity and access control through Okta, ensuring secure, role-based authentication and authorization.

* Maintain CI/CD pipelines in Circle

CI, supporting reliable and automated deployment processes.

* Configure monitoring, observability, and data reliability workflows with Monte Carlo.

Operational Excellence

* Own and operate platform components encompassing incident response, observability, performance and cost optimization.

* Maintain high availability and resilience across data pipelines and platform infrastructure.

* Define and uphold SLAs, runbooks, and best practices for operational support.

* Participate in an on-call rotation and help improve operational processes over time.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

* Work closely with data engineering, analytics, product, and security teams across geographies.
