Lead and grow a high-performing engineering team responsible for Enterprise Audit capabilities (e.g., audit trail, admin activity tracking, audit log APIs/exports, retention policies, and audit experiences).
Define and drive the Enterprise Audit roadmap in partnership with Product, Security, Compliance, and other engineering teams—balancing customer value, compliance requirements, and platform sustainability.
Own architecture and delivery of highly reliable, secure, and scalable audit systems, including event capture, processing, storage, and query/reporting at enterprise scale.
Build audit as a platform capability with strong guarantees (integrity, durability, tamper resistance, and clear schemas), enabling other teams to emit and consume auditable events consistently.
Embed security and privacy into everything (least privilege, encryption, defensible access patterns, data minimization, and clear retention/deletion behaviors).
Establish operational excellence: SLIs/SLOs, monitoring, incident response, capacity planning, and on-call health for audit services.
Coach and develop engineers and leads, creating a strong culture of ownership, high-quality delivery, and continuous improvement.
Communicate clearly and proactively with stakeholders and leadership on progress, tradeoffs, risks, and outcomes.

Proven ability to partner cross-functionally, align priorities, and deliver through ambiguity.
