- Ensure technical alignment, high availability, and observability of systems running on hybrid infrastructure, while balancing technical debt with delivery velocity
- Hire, mentor, and grow Team Leads and Engineering Managers, run performance calibration, and own promotion decisions
- Plan headcount 1 to 2 years ahead, design team structure, and manage the area budget
- Foster a culture of ownership, customer focus, and result orientation
