Identify systemic risks and design improvements to prevent repeat failures
Participate in on-call support for critical production systems
What Success Looks Like
Production systems run reliably with fewer unplanned outages
Database and server failures are diagnosed quickly
Automation infrastructure is standardized across lines
Documentation exists for recovery and scaling
