Build the future: Define the architectural strategy for integrating LLM-powered, agentic tools across the platform. Set the technical direction for self-healing infrastructure and automated root-cause analysis, influencing multiple teams' roadmaps to cut operational toil and speed up incident resolution
Evolve the ecosystem: Own the multi-quarter roadmap for our GCP and Kubernetes-based cloud capabilities, balancing developer feedback with emerging cloud technologies and building consensus among senior stakeholders
Drive operational excellence: Set the standard for SLOs and incident management across the platform, and share ownership of platform health through on-call rotations — using those frontline insights to harden systems at scale
Embed security: Architect access controls, encryption, and vulnerability management as a foundational platform standard that keeps the platform secure without slowing developer velocity
Optimize footprint: Set the strategic direction for cloud capacity management and FinOps, delivering efficient scaling and cost transparency that other teams adopt as the standard
Productize the platform: Own the technical strategy for turning CI/CD (GitHub Actions, TeamCity), deployment (ArgoCD), and build tooling into a cohesive, self-service product — driving Change Failure Rate toward zero across engineering
Pave the golden path: Define the platform standards built directly into our tooling, so the right way is automatically the fastest and easiest way for every engineer at Signifyd
Solve systemic problems: Serve as the escalation point for the most complex, ambiguous infrastructure challenges, delivering durable fixes and shaping how other teams approach similar problems
Champion the culture: Foster a customer-focused engineering culture, mentor engineers at every level, raise the technical bar, and advocate for product-thinking and empathy for the developer experience
Architectural Mindset: Deep, cross-domain expertise in cloud security, cost optimization (FinOps), and performance efficiency, with a demonstrated ability to translate that expertise into technical strategy
Execution: A track record of driving complex, cross-team technical initiatives to completion in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, with minimal oversight
