  • Monitor cloud resources and services for performance, availability, and cost optimization, and implement proactive measures to maintain optimal performance
  • Implement security best practices and compliance requirements for cloud environments, including identity and access management (IAM), encryption, and security controls
  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to cloud infrastructure, services, and applications, and provide timely escalation and resolution as needed
  • Collaborate with business stakeholders to integrate cloud services to automate deployment processes
