Drive operational excellence by implementing comprehensive observability solutions, monitoring, alerting, and SLA management to ensure pipeline reliability and performance.
Oversee engineering standards by which mobile teams at PayPal build, test, and deploy applications at scale, advocating best practices in pipeline automation, build optimisation, security scanning, and release management.
Provide hands‑on technical guidance to engineers on the team as they tackle complex challenges.
Work closely with Platform Engineers and mobile engineering teams to support their day‑to‑day development needs, partnering with security, infrastructure, and product teams to enable mobile teams to move quickly and deploy confidently.
Frame solutions in terms of enabling faster, safer releases that improve customer experience, understanding the mobile DevOps landscape and what "good looks like" across existing tools and methodologies.
Additional Qualifications
Proven experience in senior leadership roles within software engineering overseeing mobile DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, or mobile platform engineering.
Strong background in iOS or Android development, with deep understanding of mobile development workflows, build processes, and deployment challenges.
Demonstrated expertise in engineering and operational excellence, implementing and leading agile/scrum practices, sprint planning, retrospectives, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Strong experience with observability platforms, monitoring, logging, and alerting systems.
Experience leading geographically distributed teams across multiple regions and time zones.
Experience managing DevOps engineers with the technical depth to provide hands‑on guidance and mentorship.
Strong technical background in mobile build systems (Xcode, Gradle), CI/CD platforms (experience with Harness is a plus), containerisation, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure).
Excellent strategic thinking, with the ability to lead and inspire teams across global locations and drive adoption of DevOps best practices across the mobile engineering organisation.
Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with cross‑functional teams, including mobile engineering, Platform Engineers, QA, security, product, and infrastructure teams.
