System Architecture & Engineering Leadership
• Define and own system architecture strategy, ensuring resilience, scalability, and security across multiple applications.
• Ensure platform modularity and service orchestration using modern best practices in microservices, serverless frameworks, and containerization.
Data Engineering & Database Coordination
• Design and manage robust integration strategies between relational (SQL) and non-relational (NoSQL, e.g., DynamoDB, MongoDB) databases.
• Guide platform schema design for ESG data tracking, analytics, and AI/ML readiness.
Product & Strategy Contribution
• Collaborate with Product Managers and senior stakeholders to align technical decisions with business goals, especially for the ISP, BIU, and Policy Tracker platforms.
• Act as a technical advisor on features such as dynamic recommendation tracking, automated report generation, and AI-integrated consulting tools.
Agile Delivery & Scrum Contribution
• Champion agile best practices, driving planning and delivery in Jira.
• Facilitate sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospective sessions in coordination with product and design leads.
Team Leadership & People Management
• Directly manage and mentor a cross-functional team of 4+ developers with a roadmap to scale.
