• Identify weak points in the system, then propose and execute corrective actions
• Work closely with architectural and engineering teams on needed designs and features, and deliver actionable requirements as the system scales
• Strategically stay ahead of an evolving and scaling system with appropriate operational and technological changes
• Make determinations on the best internal and outsourced approach for technical work
