• Harden Retail Technologies's Docker auth so the CA audit comes back clean
• Drive adoption of best practices in testing, security, and observability
• Chase down the C# integration that silently drops Retail Technologies events at midnight
• Land Problem Solving performance wins Retail Technologies can measure in CA retention numbers

• 5 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
• Prior experience working on-site in Oakland, CA, or willingness to relocate
• Comfort steering technology conversations toward a decision
