- Drive architectural improvements, reduce technical debt, and define a pragmatic modernization roadmap aligned with business priorities.
- Improve CI/CD, deployment, database migration, and rollback processes.
- Establish engineering standards, technical governance, and best practices for development, code review, testing, and releases.
- Investigate complex production issues, support root-cause analysis, and drive long-term solutions.
- Provide technical leadership, mentor engineers, and collaborate closely with the Delivery Manager, DevOps/SRE, QA, and client tech lead.
