• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines to test and deploy OS images and microservices
• Maintain version-controlled infrastructure (IaC) and policy-as-code environments
• Integrate monitoring and observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Vector)
• Create robust testing pipelines for infrastructure components (unit, integration, functional)
• Perform hardware-in-loop (HIL) testing, simulate failure scenarios, and ensure system resiliency
• Identify and remediate performance bottlenecks in hardware provisioning and orchestration flows
• Conduct code reviews and implement coding standards and best practices
