• Define service levels, contribute root-cause analysis and continuous improvement, and develop runbooks, automated remediation and handover materials.

Open banking and digital platforms

• Provide foundations for API and microservices workloads, including high availability, mTLS, OAuth2.0, rate limiting and consent management.
• Meet availability, performance, auditability and data-residency requirements, and work with API, integration and digital teams on non-functional needs, environment strategy and CI/CD pipelines.

Governance, risk and compliance

• Embed security and regulatory controls in platform design and operations.
• Implement compliance-as-code using OpenShift controls, Advanced Cluster Security, Advanced Cluster Management policies and automated scanning.
• Support audits and regulatory reviews with documented controls, evidence and remediation tracking.

Consulting delivery

• Participate in client workshops, design-authority reviews and technical discussions, presenting recommendations to technology, architecture, security and risk stakeholders.
