• Work closely with product and QA teams to align deployment strategies and release readiness.
• Optimise Azure cloud services for performance, reliability and cost efficiency.
• Automate and streamline manual tasks and recurring processes.
• Implement proactive monitoring and observability solutions to detect and resolve infrastructure and pipeline issues.
• Contribute to DevOps documentation, standards, and knowledge sharing.

Actively contribute to an effective and engaged team, clear on its purpose and contribution, by:

• Ensuring you know what is expected of you, through regular 1:1’s, having clear objectives in place, and participating in open and honest performance and development conversations
• Ensuring a respectful and inclusive workplace, where team members communicate openly, share knowledge so it can be used, and respect difference.
• Living the CDP Values and demonstrating the behaviours appropriate to your position.
