Mentor and coach your team — provide regular feedback, create growth opportunities, and support advancement in technical and leadership skills, while fostering a healthy, inclusive environment built on empathy, psychological safety, trust, and a high technical bar
Build the culture of operational excellence: Own SLOs, reliability, on-call quality, and cost-efficiency for k8s-hosted, multi-tenant services across cloud regions
Systematize support, reduce toil, and build self-serve/auto-healing capabilities
Shape the product vision, transform it into the roadmap, sequence bets for business impact, and ship fast with tight feedback loops
