• Monitor and optimise the performance of CI/CD and data pipelines.

• Work with the DevOps team to integrate analytics into CI/CD pipelines and incident management systems.

• Ensure data accuracy, consistency, scalability and security across all environments.

• Deploy and maintain cloud resources.
