• Removing technical blockers, making pragmatic trade-off decisions and keeping delivery on track.
• Defining and upholding technical standards, patterns and engineering conventions.
• Leading the adoption of AI-assisted software development practices and tooling across engineering teams.
• Owning operational readiness, including infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring and developer experience.
