Mentorship & Skill Development: Mentor engineers on DevOps principles including security by design, observability, and infrastructure automation.

Improve Team Processes: Engage fully in the team's agile ceremonies, retrospectives, and discussions. Help evolve infrastructure and platform team practices such as automated testing for infrastructure, pipeline as code, and progressive delivery to improve feedback loops and system maintainability.

AI & Automation Opportunities: Identify opportunities to reduce manual toil and improve developer workflows using automation and AI-assisted tooling; deliver at least one measurable improvement.

Within 6 months:
