- Work within agreed SLAs and help users understand what to expect and when, including when a request needs to be prioritised, routed to another team, or scheduled.
- Bring a security-conscious mindset to every request, understanding when to proceed independently, when to involve the security team, and when compliance or operational constraints apply.
- Build user confidence in the support function by being reliable, transparent, and easy to work with.
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to infrastructure, applications, and configurations, ensuring minimal downtime.
- Promote self-service solutions and help users help themselves where possible, reducing repetitive requests over time.
- Support and manage infrastructure in AWS, including EC2, S3, IAM, EKS, and VPCs.
