• Architecture Leadership: Lead solution design for the highest-complexity initiatives across both product and platform domains. Deliver technical designs that balance speed-to-market with long-term platform health. You own the intercept point where product needs and platform capabilities meet. • AI-Powered Product Delivery: Design and ship AI-powered features into production (intelligent recommendations, automated compliance, predictive lifecycle, or similar). These should demonstrate real customer value, not AI for the sake of AI. • Platform Evolution: Own and deliver critical modernization efforts spanning service decomposition, event-driven architecture, and data migration. Design for intelligence from the start, not as an afterthought. Ensure platform investments directly unblock product delivery. • Engineering Craft: Establish and enforce coding standards, review guidelines, and architectural patterns across all engineering teams. Measurable improvement in code review cycle time and defect escape rate. Raise the quality bar so that every team ships with confidence. • Cross-Domain Integration: Serve as the connective tissue between product engineering and platform engineering. Ensure shared services, APIs, and data contracts are designed for reuse across retail, commercial, and partner channels. Prevent architectural drift between squads. • Technical Mentorship: Directly mentor Technical Leads across both product and platform domains on architecture, engineering craft, and AI-native development practices. At least 2 Tech Leads demonstrating measurable growth in technical decision-making. • Incident Response: Serve as the senior escalation point for P1/P2 production incidents across engineering. Reduce mean time to resolution by 40%.
