Architect for scale & reliability: Design, review and validate core platform components to support rapid growth in traffic, data volume, and feature velocity.
Elevate engineering standards: Define and evangelize coding standards, CI/CD pipelines, test automation frameworks, and observability practices.
Lead reviews & mentor: Conduct regular architecture and code reviews; coach senior engineers and drive continual improvement across teams.
Cross-functional collaboration: Work with product, security, and infrastructure teams to align on non-functional requirements (reliability, latency, throughput).
Build tooling & automation: Identify workflow gaps and develop internal tools or frameworks to automate testing, deployment, monitoring, and remediation.
Monitor & optimize: Analyze system metrics, troubleshoot production incidents, and recommend performance and reliability improvements.
Prototype & validate: Run targeted proof-of-concepts focused on operational excellence—benchmark solutions and recommend adoption plans.
