Build and scale a strong culture of operational excellence by defining standards and coaching teams to own reliability and availability.
Drive mature DevOps/SRE practices, including incident response and PIRs, on-call readiness, runbooks, alerting, observability, and release/change management.
Establish reliability frameworks such as SLIs/SLOs and error budgets, and use them to guide prioritization and engineering trade-offs.
Provide visibility into system health through clear operational metrics and reliability reporting.
Guide teams in the design, development, evolution, and operation of large-scale, distributed cloud systems.
Influence product and system direction through design reviews, architectural discussions, and cross-team collaboration.
Share knowledge through clear, high-quality documentation and technical communication—internally and, where appropriate, externally—to help teams build and operate systems more effectively.
As the reliability foundation matures, grow into broader application and product development leadership, contributing architectural and technical depth beyond operations.
