• Multi-Tenancy & Access: Manage the lifecycle of multi-tenant services, including provisioning, entitlements, and architecting fine-grained authorization and policy services.
• DevOps & Automation: Drive the adoption of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and GitOps patterns across the platform. Collaborate with DevOps/SRE teams to optimize automation, reliability, and performance.
• Observability: Implement and define observability standards (logging, metrics, and distributed tracing) using tools such as OpenTelemetry and Prometheus to improve platform reliability.
• Global Scalability & Optimization: Ensure global scalability and internationalization, aligning with best practices in localization and data sovereignty. Optimize for resource efficiency and sustainable, cost-conscious operations.
• Strategic & Technical Leadership: Partner with architecture teams to define and evolve platform architecture, security, and compliance. Mentor junior developers and advocate for a culture of technical excellence and cloud-native design patterns.
