Responsibilities

• Establish daily operational review practices for production errors, latency, saturation, failed jobs, health checks, and alerts across New Relic, Sentry, Google Cloud Logging, Loggly, and Slack integrations.
• Proactively identify issues, anomalies, and edge cases before they become customer-facing incidents.
• Lead structured root-cause analysis for incidents and escaped defects, including what went wrong, why it was not detected earlier, the permanent fix, and the guardrails required to prevent recurrence.

• Own the Engineering Health Scorecard for assigned project(s) and report engineering health, trends, and risks to product and leadership with supporting data.
• Uphold engineering practices and CI/CD quality gates across build, test, coverage, SonarQube, Snyk, and Nexus IQ checks. Any override should be visible, justified, and time-bound.
• Continuously improve code quality, security posture, test coverage, reliability, performance, and technical debt.

• Provide architectural and technical direction across the .NET and Vue stack, microservices, messaging with Kafka, RabbitMQ, and Google Pub/Sub, caching with Redis, edge platforms such as Fastly and Akamai, and services hosted on GKE.
• Review architecture, code, security, and performance, and serve as an escalation point for complex technical problems in partnership with Architects and senior engineers.
• Lead modernization and engineering uplift initiatives, including .NET Core migration, Generative AI integration, and observability and resilience improvements.

• Drive sprint planning and execution so that technical debt, reliability, and engineering improvements are delivered alongside feature work.
• Lead, mentor, and grow Senior Engineers, Tech Leads, and Developers through regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development conversations.
• Partner with Product Owners, Architects, and Leadership to translate business needs into sound technical solutions and clear delivery plans.
