• How a Current Praxenter Describes
  
  The Role:
  
  “I spend a lot of the sprint planning and delegating infrastructure and automation work for other engineers, anticipating how to deliver as much operational value for the client via reliable pipelines and proactive observability. This has the added benefit of allowing assigned engineers to grow their cloud and Dev Ops skills while also reducing as many unknowns as possible around deployments, environments, and infrastructure changes.
  
  It's my job to keep in sync with delivery leads on priorities, environment allocation, risks, etc, as well as act as the technical interface for the client to help guide them on infrastructure and release decisions without overloading them with Dev Ops jargon.”
