  • Partner with engineering and business teams to rapidly restore service and minimize operational risk.


Technical Leadership & Collaboration
  • Provide mentorship, technical guidance, and operational expertise to engineers and platform teams.
  • Influence platform strategy, architecture decisions, operational processes, and technology adoption.
  • Collaborate with team members to align platform capabilities with business priorities and AI adoption goals.
  • Communicate complex technical concepts effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.


Continuous Improvement & Innovation
  • Remain current with advancements in AI/ML, Generative AI, cloud technologies, platform engineering, and reliability practices.
  • Identify opportunities to improve operational efficiency, governance, security, and developer experience.
  • Champion modern engineering practices including automation, observability, DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), and AI Operations (AIOps).

  • Experience with observability and monitoring platforms such as Datadog, Splunk, Grafana, Prometheus, CloudWatch, or OpenTelemetry.
  • Familiarity with AI governance, responsible AI principles, model risk management, and operational controls.
  • Relevant cloud, AI/ML, DevOps, or platform engineering certifications
