• Establish and promote architecture standards, design principles, and engineering best practices across teams.
• Partner with engineering teams in design reviews, technical planning, and solution shaping to ensure delivery quality and architectural alignment.
• Work closely with product, DevOps, infrastructure, and business stakeholders to translate business goals into practical and sustainable technical solutions.
• Contribute hands-on where needed through technical guidance, architecture reviews, prototyping, and support for complex implementation challenges.
