  • Define and maintain architectural standards, ensuring systems remain scalable, secure, maintainable, and aligned with enterprise constraints
  • Oversee project execution across multiple complex initiatives, managing timelines, risks, dependencies, and delivery outcomes
  • Define and enforce engineering best practices around code quality, CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, and cloud operations
  • Promote a DevOps and cloud-first mindset, ensuring teams fully leverage modern engineering practices and cloud-native capabilities

QUALIFICATIONS
