• Partner with CISO and Legal teams to ensure architectural decisions align with ISO 27001, GDPR (Privacy by Design), WCAG and SOC 2 requirements. Lead Compliance by Design initiatives, embedding security, auditability, and data privacy controls into the development lifecycle.
• Architect the platform to support our high-growth phase, specifically ensuring stability for multi-tenant, high-volume MSP partnerships.
• Represent Product Engineering in executive-level discussions, providing insights on technical feasibility and innovation opportunities.
• Advocate for AI-driven efficiencies, ensuring engineering teams leverage automation and AI capabilities effectively.
• Commercial focus you think about what the business needs, not only what the architecture wants.
