You will work across both project and BAU activities contributing to new service designs migrations architecture changes and ongoing optimisation efforts.

You will be central to project capacity assessments validating solution designs before they are implemented and ensuring they are grounded in empirical data. This includes modelling load assessing resilience under availability zone or data centre failures and formally signing off on capacity BAU you will conduct regular health reviews identify emerging bottlenecks forecast growth support incident investigations and drive rightsizing initiatives across both cloud and onprem estates.
