2. Software Development & DevOps Excellence
   • Oversee and participate in hands-on implementation of CI/CD pipelines, software modules, and infrastructure-as-code.
   • Champion modern engineering practices including Agile, DevSecOps, test automation, containerization, and observability.
   • Guide engineering teams through code reviews, debugging, system performance tuning, and production releases.
   • Ensure high system availability, fault tolerance, and delivery velocity across environments.
3. Project Delivery & Technical Execution
   • Lead the delivery of enterprise-grade products and platforms from idea to production.
   • Translate architectural vision into working, well-documented systems with appropriate scalability and security measures.
   • Serve as the technical escalation point, resolving architectural, design, or implementation issues effectively.
   • Monitor delivery risks and remove technical blockers proactively.
4. Technical Team & Talent Management
   • Build, lead, and retain a high-performing team of engineers, DevOps specialists, and architects.
   • Create a culture of ownership, continuous learning, and engineering excellence.
   • Provide mentorship and career development pathways for technical talent.
   • Set and enforce coding standards, documentation norms, and architectural principles.
5. Cross-functional Engagement
   • Collaborate with Product and Operations teams to co-develop scalable, user-centric tech solutions.
   • Align technical deliverables with business needs, go-to-market timelines, and regulatory requirements.
   • Act as a credible technical voice when engaging with customers, vendors, and key external stakeholders.
6. Security, Risk & Governance
   • Design and implement security-by-design principles across all technology layers.
   • Own disaster recovery, data governance, and incident response planning.
   • Ensure compliance with national cybersecurity standards and industry frameworks.
   • Continuously assess and mitigate technology-related risks across infrastructure and applications.

• 14+ years in software engineering or enterprise systems, including 5+ years in senior technology leadership roles.
• Proven experience in architecting, building, and implementing end-to-end systems and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong technical depth in cloud/on-prem infrastructure, DevOps, microservices, and modern software stacks.
• Hands-on leadership of solution architects and technical delivery teams across large-scale programs.
• Demonstrated ability to drive delivery under pressure, resolve technical challenges, and scale platforms securely.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and the ability to operate at both code and boardroom levels.
