• Provide hands-on architectural direction across the team's systems, facilitating key decisions around system design, data modeling, and service boundaries.
• Drive the reduction of technical debt by identifying systemic risks, prioritizing remediation efforts, and balancing those efforts with feature development.
• Participate meaningfully in design reviews, merge request reviews, and technical discussions.
• Advocate for engineering best practices including reliability, observability, security, performance, agentic development, and maintainability at scale.
• Ensure systems meet the uptime and data accuracy standards expected by enterprise customers.
• Lead post-mortems and drive incident follow-through.
• Leverage agentic development tools to increase engineering velocity while maintaining high standards of quality, readability, and architectural consistency.
• Partner closely with Product teams to translate business goals into well-scoped and well-sequenced engineering initiatives.
• Organize and maintain delivery swim lanes that provide engineers with clear priorities and focused work.
• Own team-level delivery commitments, forecast accurately, communicate risks early, and consistently deliver high-quality software.
