Deep technical credibility, understand modern cloud architectures (GCP/AWS), APIs, microservices, data pipelines, and be capable of guiding strategic technical decisions and partnering effectively with architects.
Experience building multi-product platforms, managing the complexities of supporting capabilities as point solutions and as integrated solutions.
Experience implementing and maturing key engineering processes (Agile/Scrum, CI/CD, incident management, monitoring, QA automation) leading to measurable improvements in predictability, quality, and reliability.
