• Monitoring and Alert Management: Constant monitoring of production, staging, and other environments for any alerts or anomalies. Respond promptly to alerts, assess the severity, and take appropriate actions to ensure service continuity.
• Incident Triage and Resolution: Act as the first point of contact for all incidents related to service continuity. Quickly assess and triage incidents, escalating to appropriate teams if necessary, and drive them to resolution within defined SLAs.
• Proactive Issue Identification: Proactively identify potential issues or areas of concern within the AWS cloud environment that could impact service continuity. Work closely with the engineering and operations teams to address these issues before they escalate.
