Develop deep application-level knowledge to proactively inform and influence infrastructure requirements and constraints for Developers, QA, and Management, including implementing sophisticated dashboards for Cost and Inventory management, performance analysis, and capacity planning. Perform advanced monitoring and troubleshooting of our infrastructure and application stack using a wide array of logging/monitoring tools, driving root cause analysis and implementing preventative measures.
