• Define and lead the reliability strategy for the Acquisition Platform, ensuring alignment with product, platform, and enterprise goals.
• Establish SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets that tie reliability targets to business outcomes and partner expectations.
• Shift reliability requirements into early design and development phases so resiliency, failover, and graceful degradation are architected in, not bolted on.
• Design reliability patterns across platform services, APIs, workflows, and dependent systems both internal and external.
• Architect end to end observability across the platform including metrics, structured logging, distributed tracing, and alerting.
• Establish monitoring standards and dashboards that provide real time visibility into platform health, partner facing services, and integration dependencies.
• Embed observability into platform services from design through deployment so teams can detect, diagnose, and resolve issues rapidly.
• Drive adoption of synthetic monitoring and canary deployments to validate production behavior proactively.
• Collaborate closely with the Acquisition delivery team and stakeholders to align outcomes with the reliability strategy.
• Partner with AMS, infrastructure, and other tech teams to ensure clear ownership boundaries and smooth operational handoffs.
