Drive the standardisation of runbooks and automation to reduce key-person risk, and coordinate Disaster Recovery (DRP) and Business Continuity (BCP) testing in partnership with SRE. Act as the primary gatekeeper for operational readiness, ensuring new functionality transitioning from project teams is fully documented, supportable, and seamlessly operationalised. Observability & Platform Health Establish, mature, and maintain telemetry, dashboarding, and observability tools to ensure complete visibility into application performance and database health. Design and optimize alerting structures to ensure critical and escalating errors are automatically detected, categorized by severity, and routed to the team for rapid triage before they impact customers. Define and track key operational metrics (e.g., Mean Time to Detect/Resolve, error budgets) to drive continuous improvement in system reliability. Technical Oversight & Strategy Act as a technical sounding board and mentor, ensuring the team adheres to best practices in logging, alerting, testing, and system repairability. Oversee the technical design of product defect fixes and enhancements, ensuring code reviews are thorough and production standards remain high. Maintain oversight of application health, database management strategies, and system dependency patching schedules to mitigate security vulnerabilities.
