Minimum 10 years experience in high-scale infrastructure and distributed environments, with a track record of architecting or managing business-critical backend substrates in production settings.
Proven expertise in orchestrating cross-functional technical strategies for control-plane systems (e.g., experiments, feature flags, or ML config), unifying disparate teams around standardized and safe rollout methodologies.
Advanced proficiency in distributed coordination and substrate design—capable of navigating complex consistency models, failure domains, and the engineering of resilient, high-leverage abstractions.
Experience aligning configuration surfaces with deployment pipelines and orchestration frameworks (e.g., IaC or CI/CD), with a focus on mitigating architectural circularity and reducing service owner toil.
History of elevating senior engineering talent while steering parallel workstreams , synthesizing loosely coupled initiatives into a unified technical vision and executable roadmap.
Ability to catalyze execution via AI-enabled workflows (e.g., design synthesis, analytical phases, or documentation) while ensuring rigorous accountability through data validation, peer review, and metric-driven verification.
