Partner with teams on infrastructure automation, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and operational excellence.
Identify and resolve moderately complex production and platform issues, assessing risks and driving pragmatic solutions.

Collaboration & Vendor Evaluation

Consult with other technology and product teams across Vanguard to ensure alignment and reuse where appropriate.
Lead and participate in build vs. buy evaluations, including assessment of vendors, tools, and platforms.

Participate in special initiatives supporting the growth and scalability of the VPI business.
Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering practices, standards, and platform reliability.

Experience modernizing legacy platforms into cloud-native architectures.
Strong understanding of operational concerns such as resiliency, monitoring, security, and cost optimization.
