7. Cost Optimization (FinOps)

• Monitor and analyze cloud spending to identify optimization opportunities.
• Lead tagging, rightsizing, and scaling best practices.

8. Collaboration & Enablement

• Work closely with Backend, Frontend, and QA teams to improve development and release workflows.
• Document standards, runbooks, and operational procedures.
• Provide guidance on DevOps best practices to engineering teams.
