5. Collaboration and planning

• Strategy input: Work with the Technology and Support leadership to define future-state architecture, adoption of new tools and best practices.

• Team mentoring: Lead the evolution of our DevOps culture, mentoring other developers on CI/CD, cloud best practices and troubleshooting techniques.

6. Client support and incident response

• Support: Provide front-line technical support for clients, when required. Diagnose, prioritise, and help to resolve technical issues and bugs reported by clients.

• Incident response: Be a key contributor during incidents, quickly diagnosing issues that span development code, deployment pipelines or cloud infrastructure.
