• Represent Cloud Engineering in cross-functional and leadership forums, partnering with Product, Security, Compliance, Platform, and QE
• Lead complex, multi-quarter initiatives spanning departments and engineering teams, driving alignment, adoption, and delivery
• Serve as the escalation point for the most complex production issues and drive resolution of systemic technical debt
• Mentor engineers and scale technical leadership and standards without relying on direct authority

• Design for reliability: multi-region failover (Traffic Manager / Front Door), backup and disaster recovery (Azure Backup, paired regions), observability (Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights), as well as partner with development and business on SLO/error-budget definition
• Design reusable, versioned Terraform modules and AKS blueprints that other engineering teams can self-serve our “paved road.”

• BS/BA in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
• 10+ years of hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering, including IaC (Terraform/Bicep), CI/CD & GitOps, and cloud architecture (Azure preferred)
