* Implement and monitor cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred).
* Configure and maintain Nginx and basic web service stacks.
* Define and enforce backup strategies and disaster recovery processes.
* Use monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and alerting systems to ensure availability.
* Participate in on-call rotations to support critical services.
* Collaborate with backend engineers to streamline integration and delivery.
* Continuously identify and automate repetitive tasks to reduce manual intervention.
