Establish operational standards and reliability guardrails for commerce services and all dependent systems across varying traffic conditions, including peak demand periods. Partner with order management teams to ensure reliability across Manhattan Active Order Management (MAO) order routing, fulfillment execution integrations, and downstream fulfillment event integrity, including BOPIS flows. Observability & Monitoring Design and implement monitoring frameworks across digital commerce services, with proactive detection of conversion‑impacting issues before they affect customers. Define and manage SLIs, SLOs, and alerting strategies tied to business impact including conversion degradation, checkout failure rates, order placement success, and site performance and latency. Build operational dashboards that translate technical signals into revenue and customer experience insights. Implement monitoring across SFCC‑specific signals including pipeline performance, OCAPI health, SCAPI latency, cache effectiveness, replication health, third‑party integration response times, and MAO order orchestration signals such as routing latency, fulfillment status synchronization, and exception queue health. Incident Management & Operational Readiness Lead coordination of high‑severity commerce incidents, including triage, root cause analysis, systemic remediation planning, and improved MTTR through automation, tooling, and process optimization. Establish and maintain incident runbooks, operational playbooks, and continuous operational readiness standards across commerce platforms. Own operational readiness and release planning for major commerce launches, campaigns, and seasonal peak events, including SFCC traffic scaling strategy validation. Partner with Salesforce Commerce Cloud support during platform incidents, managing severity escalation processes and coordinating internal response during platform‑level disruptions. Performance & Scalability Engineering Identify and remediate performance bottlenecks impacting site speed, checkout latency, and service responsiveness, including SFCC‑specific optimization across page caching, CDN configuration, search indexing, and cartridge execution efficiency. Partner with engineering teams to drive performance optimization initiatives, support load testing, and own capacity planning and peak readiness validation. Ensure commerce systems scale reliably to support business growth and global expansion. Automation & Reliability Engineering Develop automation to reduce manual operational effort and recurring incident classes, including SFCC deployment validation, replication monitoring, integration failure detection, and release risk scoring. Implement reliability engineering patterns such as automated recovery workflows, self‑healing service orchestration, reliability validation pipelines, and operational health scoring. Drive adoption of reliability engineering best practices across delivery teams. Cross‑Functional Collaboration Partner with product, engineering, merchandising, marketing, and operations teams to align reliability priorities with business objectives, serving as a reliability advocate during architecture design and solution reviews.
