• Support the automation of build, test, and deployment processes to improve efficiency and reliability – including troubleshooting issues in the deployment pipelines.
• Ensure consistency and version control of configuration files and deployment scripts.
• Implement tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), or Splunk for monitoring and logging – including monitoring system performance and assisting in identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks.
• Support performance tuning and optimization efforts for SAP products.
• Work closely with development, QA, and operations teams to support the integration and deployment of SAP products.
• Create and maintain documentation for deployment processes, configurations, and infrastructure.
• Proactively seek mentorship and guidance from senior engineers to enhance professional development.
