  • Partner with security, legal, DevOps, and application teams to ensure safe, compliant, and cost-effective adoption of AI capabilities.
  • Lead incident response, conduct root cause analysis, and drive long-term reliability and resilience improvements.
  • Influence cloud architecture, standards, and policies across teams and business functions.
  • Provide technical leadership through mentorship, coaching, and architectural guidance to engineers across the organization.
  • Lead major and complex initiatives, delegating work as appropriate, and reviewing deliverables to ensure alignment with organizational standards.
