- Provide technical leadership and mentorship across backend/framework, DevOps, security, and QA engineers.
- Partner with stakeholders to build and execute a roadmap that reduces developer toil and improves delivery velocity.
- Platform Engineering / DevEx: internal platform product mindset, developer workflow optimization, golden-path design
- Internal Developer Portal: architecture, service catalog concepts, scaffolding/template workflows, plugin/integration patterns
- Cloud-Native Architecture: Kubernetes operating model, Helm-based delivery patterns, multi-environment rollout strategies
- IaC & Standardization: Terraform module strategy, reusable infrastructure patterns, policy/guardrail alignment
- CI/CD & GitOps: GitOps operating model, pipeline governance, release/version strategies for shared assets.
- Observability Strategy: metrics/logs/traces standards, OpenTelemetry concepts, SLO/SLA alignment.
