• Troubleshoot issues effectively, perform root cause analysis, and implement corrective and preventive actions during and after incidents to minimise downtime.
• Create and maintain comprehensive documentation and processes for troubleshooting, system maintenance, and configuration management.
• Develop Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) solutions using tools such as Terraform to automate the provisioning and management of cloud resources.
