Co-ordinate cross-domain architectural initiatives (resilience, security, compliance, observability, developer experience)
Champion architecture practices and governance (ADRs, Well-Architected practices)
Partner with engineering and product leaders to translate business needs into scalable solutions
Provide hands-on support in solving complex architectural challenges
Communicate architectural vision and decisions to both technical and business stakeholders
Mentor engineers and architects while contributing to internal communities and best practices
Treats AI assisted engineering as a core part of modern software practice, leveraging AI tools to enhance design, coding, testing, troubleshooting, and documentation, while guiding the team in adopting effective patterns and evolving best practices for AI enabled ways of working
