- Lead modernization efforts for legacy systems and integration with enterprise data lakes and analytics platforms.
- Drive troubleshooting efforts across the stack, ensuring root cause analysis and long-term resolution of technical issues.
Observability & Monitoring
- Lead the implementation of observability frameworks using New Relic or similar platforms.
- Define and enforce standards for monitoring, alerting, and logging, ensuring full visibility into application health and performance.
- Guide the team in integrating custom metrics, dashboards, and alerts to track system behavior and proactively address issues.
- Continuously improve observability practices to support high availability, performance tuning, and incident response.
Cross-Team Collaboration & Business Alignment
- Partner with Product, Business, and Data Governance teams to translate enterprise data needs into scalable technical solutions.
- Collaborate with cross-functional and cross-geography teams, ensuring effective communication and alignment across time zones.
- Manage stakeholder expectations, balancing business priorities with engineering feasibility and technical constraints.
- Support cross-domain initiatives such as enterprise reporting, compliance, and centralized identity and access management.
Operational Excellence & Risk Management
- Monitor and improve system reliability, observability, and incident response for mission-critical headquarters and MDM applications.
- Optimize application and data pipelines for performance, scalability, and cost efficiency across cloud and hybrid environments.
- Ensure compliance with data security, privacy, and regulatory standards (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).
- Establish and enforce operational best practices, including CI/CD, automated testing, and release management.
