Strengthen observability and incident response, closing alerting gaps and running blameless postmortems. Set technical direction under ambiguity across a broad, legacy-heavy stack, and raise

Partner with newly acquired teams as their dedicated DevOps contact, and share the weekly working-hours on-duty support rotation.
