  • Lead architecture and design reviews, represent the team in enterprise architecture and governance forums, and act as a senior escalation point for complex, systemic incidents.
  • Mentor engineers and build depth across critical platforms, and partner with technology, security, architecture, cloud, and AI teams across the enterprise.
