The role requires close and seamless collaboration with other cross-functional groups, including the Security, DevOps, and Application teams.
The team culture emphasizes a proactive attitude and a strong sense of ownership, especially when managing incidents and performing root cause analysis.
Effective communication with diverse stakeholders is essential to ensure there are no gaps in execution and to drive initiatives to completion.
The team is responsible for documenting findings from incidents and contributing to knowledge bases to prevent future issues.
