- Establish engineering standards for unit and integration testing, CI/CD pipelines, observability, logging, and alerting.
- Partner with QA, DevOps, Product, Architecture, and Regulatory teams to deliver compliant, production-ready software.
- Mentor engineers across levels through code review, design review, and knowledge sharing.
- Lead technical planning and execution of complex, multi-sprint initiatives, and surface delivery risk early.
