• Contribute to security and compliance improvements, including ISO27001-related automation and best practices.
• Drive operational excellence through automation, documentation, and continuous improvement of workflows.
• Collaborate closely with backend teams to design resilient, scalable services and deployment architectures.
• Identify system bottlenecks, risks, and improvement opportunities — and help implement meaningful solutions.
