Practical knowledge of secure device provisioning, certificate rotation, or zero-trust edge security models

Responsibilities

Building our next-generation hybrid platform that bridges on-prem devices with cloud-native services
Building reliable data paths from devices to the cloud, ensuring durability, low latency, and secure transmission across varying network conditions
Leading the modernization of legacy components while introducing new cloud-integrated capabilities that support long-term scalability
Collaborating with hardware, firmware, and product teams to align device behavior with backend and application requirements
Establishing standards for observability, including logging, metrics, and tracing across both edge and cloud systems
Improving device orchestration through better provisioning, update flows, configuration management, and remote monitoring
Identifying and eliminating operational bottlenecks, helping the platform increase resilience, automate recovery, and reduce manual intervention
Taking ownership of product and feature delivery, developing and releasing in a manner that increases deployment frequency, reduces cycle time, and failure rate
