• Drive comprehensive performance, load, scale, reliability, and chaos-testing approaches for critical services and customer workflows
• Establish meaningful quality metrics, telemetry standards, and dashboards that help engineering teams identify release risk, system vulnerabilities, and customer-impacting regressions early
• Partner with product and engineering teams to embed quality practices throughout planning, development, delivery, and production operations
• Lead multi-quarter, cross-functional technical initiatives from problem definition through architecture, implementation, adoption, and measurable outcomes
• Work closely with Principal Engineers, Product Directors, and Engineering Leadership to align quality investments with product strategy, architectural roadmaps, and customer needs
• Prototype and personally deliver high-leverage platform components while enabling product teams to adopt and extend shared capabilities
• Lead and mentor Senior and Mid-level engineers, raise the technical bar for quality engineering, and create repeatable practices that scale beyond a single team
