- Work closely with Customer Support & the Live & Release team to investigate, document and (where necessary) push for swift resolution of live issues, owning and understanding where potential gaps existed, and plugging these for future circumstances
- Assist in the promotion of a ‘shift left’ attitude, helping discover and resolve issues as early as possible within the production pipeline
