Provide high‑level technical and architectural direction for the entire App Platform ecosystem, empowering your organization to make high‑impact architectural decisions that align with the long‑term vision for scalability and reliability. Deep expertise in Golang and Kubernetes (k8s) is essential.
Take ultimate ownership of the platform’s health, reliability, and performance, driving a culture of operational excellence and customer obsession.

Strong foundation in building and operating scalable, reliable, and performant distributed systems at scale.
Deep commitment to operational excellence, meeting and exceeding SLAs, and using monitoring and observability to guarantee a reliable end‑user experience.
