Overview

Responsible at the expert level for transforming engineering, operational, security, and quality data into actionable insights that improve developer experience and software delivery outcomes. Leads the collection, integration, analysis, and predictive modeling of data across the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), observability platforms, incident management systems, production change processes, security tooling, and quality platforms. Contributes to the stability, resilience, quality, and effectiveness of technology delivery through advanced analytics, measurement frameworks, and data-driven recommendations while coaching others.

Primary Responsibilities

• Design and develop analytical frameworks that integrate data across source control, CI/CD pipelines, quality platforms, observability tools, incident management systems, production change systems, security platforms, and software development tools.
• Define, implement, and govern engineering metrics that measure developer experience, software quality, release readiness, operational resilience, engineering productivity, and technology risk.
• Develop predictive models and data-driven insights to identify potential release risks, quality concerns, reliability issues, security vulnerabilities, and delivery bottlenecks before they impact production.
• Perform advanced statistical analysis, trend analysis, and failure analysis to identify patterns impacting software delivery performance and operational health.
• Create engineering scorecards, executive dashboards, and self-service reporting capabilities that provide visibility into engineering effectiveness and delivery outcomes.
• Analyze relationships between code changes, deployment activity, incidents, vulnerabilities, observability signals, and production outcomes to identify leading indicators of risk.
• Partner with Software Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, Risk, Architecture, and Product teams to establish common measurement frameworks and data definitions.
• Establish standards and best practices for engineering data collection, metric governance, and analytics platform design.
• Provide recommendations that improve software quality, developer productivity, deployment success rates, operational resilience, and customer outcomes.
• Translate complex data and technical findings into actionable recommendations for engineering leaders, executives, and business stakeholders.
• Present findings and insights at leadership reviews, architecture forums, engineering community events, and internal knowledge-sharing sessions.
• Contribute to the evolution of Developer Experience strategy through measurement, experimentation, benchmarking, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Understand and adhere to the Company’s risk and regulatory standards, policies, and controls in accordance with the Company’s Risk Appetite.
• Identify risk-related issues requiring escalation to management.
