• 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.

• Relevant cloud, AI/ML, DevOps, or platform engineering certifications

• Actively shapes our company culture (e.g., participating in employee resource groups, volunteering, etc.)
