    • Collaborate with cybersecurity teams to implement next-generation security solutions, including intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), advanced encryption, and zero-trust frameworks.
    • Ensure full compliance with RMiT, GDPR, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001 standards while maintaining flexibility for evolving regulatory requirements.
  4. Automation & Orchestration:
    • Lead the development of fully automated infrastructure provisioning and lifecycle management using Terraform, Ansible, and similar tools.
    • Establish Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and Configuration-as-Code (CaC) practices to ensure repeatability, scalability, and rapid deployment.
    • Integrate advanced orchestration platforms to streamline workflows across DevOps pipelines, enabling faster time-to-market for critical updates.
  5. Operational Excellence:
    • Conduct advanced capacity planning and predictive analytics to ensure system readiness for future growth and demand spikes.
    • Implement proactive monitoring solutions leveraging AI/ML technologies to detect anomalies and optimize performance in real time.
    • Develop comprehensive disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity (BCP) solutions with near-zero recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO).
  6. Technical Leadership & Collaboration:
    • Serve as the organization's foremost technical expert on infrastructure architecture, offering guidance on complex technical challenges.
    • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including cybersecurity, application development, and business stakeholders, to align infrastructure with organizational goals.
