- Harden the platform in collaboration with security teams, including image scanning (Quay/Clair), runtime protection, secret management, and continuous compliance with regulatory frameworks
- Design and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines on OpenShift using Tekton, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Argo Workflows, enabling safe and frequent application deployments
- Develop disaster-recovery and backup strategies for cluster state, etcd, and persistent workloads, validated through regular failover and restore drills
- Plan, test, and execute cluster upgrades across minor and major versions with minimal disruption to workloads, including pre-upgrade validation and rollback strategies
- Partner with application teams to right-size workloads, manage resource quotas, and tune cluster autoscaling for predictable performance and cost efficiency
