Establish and champion engineering excellence practices (code quality, testing, observability, CI / CD, security by default, accessibility) across squads.

Drive engineering outcomes by improving DORA metrics (deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, MTTR) and instituting SLOs / SLIs for critical services.

Contribute to objectives by identifying and executing cost optimizations (runtime, pipeline, infra), and quantifying savings.

Collaborate with product, design, platform, security, and data teams to translate business needs into scalable, secure, maintainable solutions.

Create and socialize technical designs, playbooks, and runbooks; lead knowledge-sharing to raise the bar across teams.

Implement robust CI / CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions) with quality gates, automated testing, and secure supply chain practices.

Embed observability (logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, alerts) to enable data-driven decisions and fast incident response.

Uphold security and compliance standards (OWASP, secrets management, least privilege, threat modeling); participate in on-call / incident response as needed.
