- Build and strengthen CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, deployment safeguards, observability, and reliable rollback mechanisms.
- Manage VPN networking technologies and infrastructure, including server provisioning, configuration, routing, NAT, DNS, TLS, traffic shaping, health monitoring, failover, and key management.
- Develop monitoring, logging, alerting, and incident-response capabilities to improve availability and operational resilience.
- Troubleshoot production incidents, participate in 24/7 on-call operations, perform root-cause analysis, and ensure recurring issues are addressed through automation and system improvements.
- Use agentic AI and AI coding tools to accelerate infrastructure development, incident investigation, documentation, and automation while thoroughly reviewing and validating generated output before production deployment.
- Collaborate closely with engineering and product teams to balance uptime, latency, connection success rates, capacity, infrastructure costs, and overall user experience.
