Responsibilities

  • End-to-End System Ownership: Own the architecture and lifecycle of critical systems—from design through production—ensuring they are scalable, resilient, observable, and operationally efficient. Drive long-term maintainability and reduce technical debt at a system-wide level.
  • Cloud-Native & Distributed Systems Engineering: Design and build high-scale, distributed services using modern .NET (6/7/8+), with strong emphasis on containerization (Docker), orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes), and cloud-native patterns (event-driven, asynchronous processing, fault tolerance).
  • Architectural Leadership Across Domains: Define and evolve system architecture across multiple teams and services. Lead the decomposition of monolithic systems into well-bounded, loosely coupled microservices aligned to business domains.
  • Technical Strategy & Decision Authority: Act as a technical authority in the organization—evaluating and introducing frameworks, tools, and engineering practices. Make high-impact decisions balancing trade-offs between scalability, cost, performance, and delivery speed.
  • API & Integration Design: Design robust, versioned, and well-governed APIs (REST/gRPC/event-driven), ensuring consistency, performance, and developer usability across internal and external consumers.
  • Operational Excellence & Observability: Drive best practices around logging, monitoring, tracing, and alerting. Ensure systems are production-ready with clear SLOs/SLAs and proactive incident management strategies.
  • Engineering Quality & Standards: Set the benchmark for code quality, testing strategy (unit, integration, contract, performance), and CI/CD practices. Actively review and guide implementation to maintain high engineering standards.
  • Security & Compliance by Design: Embed security best practices (authentication, authorization, data protection, secrets management) into system architecture and delivery pipelines.
  • Mentorship & Technical Leadership: Mentor senior and mid-level engineers, elevate team capability, and act as a force multiplier across squads. Lead through influence rather than authority.
  • Cross-Functional & Executive Collaboration: Partner with product, business, and executive stakeholders to align technical strategy with business outcomes. Translate complex technical concepts into actionable insights.
