- Define enterprise CI/CD standards and fully automated pipelines across Dev, QA, Stage, and Production.
- Implement release governance, progressive deployment, guardrails, and rollback.
- Improve engineering productivity through automation and self-service platform capabilities.
- Own reliability for critical customer-facing applications: SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, and availability targets.
- Lead incident response and executive communications during critical events, root cause analysis, post-incident reviews, and automated remediation.
- Champion resilience testing and a reliability-first engineering culture.
- Own observability strategy across infrastructure, applications, databases, APIs, and AI services.
- Build unified dashboards, proactive monitoring, anomaly detection, and executive operational metrics.
- Partner with Security, Architecture, and Risk teams on secure-by-design platforms.
- Implement IAM governance, workload identity, secrets management, encryption, WAF, and network segmentation.

- Lead infrastructure and operations for AI-powered and agentic products.
- Enable secure deployment and governance of generative AI, agent platforms, MCP servers, RAG/vector workloads, and AI APIs.
- Establish AI observability, lifecycle management, and enterprise-ready deployment patterns.
- Partner with Data Engineering on reliability, performance, backup/DR, and operational support for core data services (PostgreSQL, Cloud SQL, search, messaging, and pipelines).
- Mentor DevOps, SRE, cloud, and software engineers; set standards and lead architecture reviews.
