EY GDS – Delivery Excellence Senior position

Over the last decade, infrastructure cost efficiency, platform reliability and operational excellence have become critical to running successful global businesses.

Security, Compliance & Reliability

• Apply platform security: SCCs, Pod Security standards and NetworkPolicy; align with CIS hardening.
• Integrate secrets and audit controls (Vault, SIEM) and support reliability through tuning and RCA.
• Create clear diagrams/runbooks/SOPs and support on-call and knowledge transfer for L1/L2 teams.
