• Defining and breaking down ambiguous problem spaces, and leading them through to practical, high-impact solutions
• Designing and evolving internal platforms and shared services that improve scalability, reliability, and developer experience
• Establishing and promoting engineering patterns and best practices in areas such as system design, observability, and service reliability
• Leading architectural decisions, making pragmatic trade-offs across performance, reliability, cost, and speed of delivery
• Contributing directly to critical parts of the system where deep technical expertise is required
• Improving how systems are operated in production, including monitoring, incident response, and long-term reliability improvements
• Influencing technical direction across teams through design reviews, collaboration, and hands-on leadership
• Mentoring engineers at multiple levels, particularly Senior engineers, helping to raise the overall technical bar

• Experience working across a broad, polyglot technology stack
• Proven ability to design or evolve platform-level systems, internal developer platforms, or shared infrastructure
• Solid understanding of SRE principles, including observability, SLIs/SLOs, incident management, and system health
• Experience improving system reliability and developer productivity through automation, platform design, and intelligent tooling
• Experience designing systems and workflows that are highly automatable and extensible
• Experience with modern delivery practices, including Infrastructure-as-Code and automated pipelines
• Ability to navigate ambiguity, define problems, and drive solutions without needing detailed direction
• Strong communication and influencing skills, with experience aligning engineers and stakeholders across teams
