• Implement Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) with Terraform or Bicep for cloud provisioning.
• Automate testing stages: unit, integration, contract, API, and UI (Cypress/Playwright).
• Integrate quality gates: SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, container scanning, and SBOM generation.
• Enable progressive delivery using blue/green, canary, and automated rollback strategies.

5) Reliability, Observability & Operational Excellence

• Instrument applications with OpenTelemetry, Application Insights, or Prometheus/Grafana.
• Implement dashboards, alerts, SLIs/SLOs for performance and reliability.
• Conduct root-cause analysis (RCA) for incidents and improve system resilience.
• Enhance performance through caching, async design, circuit breaker patterns, and efficient database access.

6) Security, Compliance & Governance

• Apply secure development lifecycle (SDLC) controls including static and dynamic code scanning.
• Implement OAuth2.0, OIDC, JWT, certificate-based auth, and secret management (Key Vault, OpenShift Secrets).
• Enforce identity and access controls (RBAC), image signing, and policy-as-code (OPA/Kyverno).
• Ensure compliance with enterprise standards for logging, auditability, encryption, and resilience.

7) Collaboration & Agile Delivery

• Work closely with product owners, architects, UX designers, SRE, and platform teams.
• Participate in sprint ceremonies, backlog grooming, estimations, and retrospectives.
• Conduct peer reviews, drive engineering excellence, and mentor junior developers.
