- Lead evaluation and proof-of-concept testing of new tools and services
- Support application and platform teams with migrations, service onboarding, and scaling requests, taking a more active design role than junior engineers
- Drive cost optimization (FinOps) efforts on owned components, including rightsizing, waste identification, and cost-anomaly follow-up
- Mentor Cloud Infrastructure Engineer I/II staff on troubleshooting, IaC practices, and runbook execution
- Maintain and improve runbooks and documentation for owned systems, including audit-ready evidence for GxP-relevant workloads
- Ensure adherence to approved reference architectures, security baselines, and tagging conventions for all provisioned resources

- Experience leading RCA and incident response for production systems
- Clear written communication skills; able to document work, lead runbook development, and drive established change control processes
- Ability to work independently on complex tasks while mentoring junior team members

Success Criteria
Assigned components consistently meet or exceed defined SLAs/SLOs for uptime and performance. Independently resolves complex incidents and drives RCA with minimal senior review.
