- Build the out-of-band management layer and firmware baselines, and secure the management plane for customer-facing environments.
- Integrate hardware, fabric, and storage telemetry into our observability stack, with alerting and automated health checks.
- Write runbooks, as-builts, and remote-hands procedures.
- Provide escalation support after go-live and help our team ramp up.
