• Drive site reliability engineering practice across Hosting, partnering closely with DevOps and SRE functions on incident response and system hardening
• Own the org-wide standard for AI-augmented delivery: where AI is used across the lifecycle and where it isn’t, how generated code is reviewed, how provenance and licensing are handled, and what customer data may enter a prompt – and measure whether the standard is actually holding
• Lead root-cause analysis on the most complex, highest-impact production issues, and turn findings into durable architectural fixes
• Mentor senior and staff-level engineers, raising the technical bar and influencing how the broader org builds and operates
