    • Build and maintain internal DevOps standards, deployment guides, and infrastructure-as-code templates.
    • Contribute to pre-sales and scoping conversations by advising on infrastructure feasibility.
    • Work closely with the Principal Solutions Architect and the CTO to ensure deployment strategy alignment.
