Work with cross-team stakeholders to define requirements and ensure technical execution aligns with business objectives.

Own reliability, monitoring, logging, and instrumentation of the systems you build.
Ensure systems meet performance, scalability, and security requirements — particularly as they relate to network infrastructure and cloud environments.
