•    Own and continuously improve monitoring, alerting, and dashboarding (e.g., CloudWatch, Datadog, Grafana, Azure Monitor) to increase visibility and reduce mean time to detect/resolve.
•    Support security operations: apply patches, respond to vulnerability findings, and follow incident escalation procedures in line with client and Valtech security policies.
•    Maintain accurate runbooks, knowledge base articles, and shift handover notes to ensure smooth 24x7 continuity across teams and time zones.
•    Collaborate with client stakeholders, account teams, and cross-functional Valtech engineering teams on service improvement initiatives.
•    Contribute to capacity planning, cost optimization, and reliability improvements (SLOs/SLIs) for managed environments.
