- Develop tools and capabilities to improve diagnostics, troubleshooting, and automated recovery.
- Lead incident response efforts and post-incident reviews to improve system reliability and reduce resolution times.
Collaboration & Leadership
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineering teams.
- Drive architectural decisions, promote best practices, and identify opportunities for foundational improvements.
- Partner across teams and with external vendors to support design reviews, implementations, and rollout strategies.
