• Drive day-to-day execution, including creating and refining JIRA tickets with the team, sprint planning, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.
• Own JIRA dashboard management and maintain a multi-sprint-ahead view for the team, prioritizing the backlog based on Product Manager and organizational needs and planning releases accordingly.
• Provide hands-on technical leadership and contribution through architecture and design work, technical spikes, pull requests, code reviews, pairing, and occasional end-to-end feature ownership.
• Own and evolve application and integration architecture hosted in AWS, ensuring scalability, security, maintainability, and cost awareness.
• Establish and enforce engineering standards for API and service design, including REST and event-driven patterns, performance, and backward compatibility.
• Ensure production readiness and operational excellence, including monitoring, logging, incident response, root cause analysis, runbooks, and disaster recovery documentation.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and release hygiene practices, working to improve deployment frequency and reduce change failure rate.
• Define and drive an automated testing strategy across unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, and strengthen QA automation and quality gates.

• Identify and prioritize AI-enabled automation opportunities, such as data pipeline and reporting automation, anomaly detection, reconciliation, and intelligent alerting, while ensuring responsible usage around security, privacy, intellectual property, and validation of outputs.
• Create clear metrics and reporting to track delivery, quality, and reliability trends for the team and own the financial budget as assigned.
• Maintain accountability for time reporting, budgeting inputs, and other administrative responsibilities required for ongoing team support.
