• →Proactively propose and implement architectural improvements to meet both short- and long-term scalability, reliability, and cost optimization needs.
• →Lead the investigation and resolution of complex technical issues related to distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, API behavior, and service resilience.
• →Optimize cloud-based systems (AWS preferred) for performance, security, resiliency, and financial efficiency.
• →Promote Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), security-by-design, CI/CD automation, and shift-left testing across the service lifecycle.
• →Conduct performance, reliability, and security assessments in collaboration with Architects and Directors.
• →Collaborate with other technical teams to ensure seamless integration, consistent architectural patterns, and strong alignment across Online Services.
• →Champion high-quality engineering standards, including code quality, observability, maintainability, and operational readiness.
• →Explore and leverage AI-assisted engineering tools (e.g., test generation, code completion, anomaly detection, observability insights) to enhance developer workflows.
• →Contribute to the adoption and evolution of AIOps practices to improve system intelligence and operational reliability.
