• Implement FinOps practices for cost allocation, tagging, budgeting, forecasting, and reporting; guide teams in balancing cost, performance, reliability, risk, and business value.
• Provide hands-on technical leadership by producing high-quality infrastructure code, conducting architecture and code reviews, and modeling engineering best practices for security, reliability, and maintainability.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, raise technical standards, and influence cloud and platform architecture decisions across teams without relying on direct authority.
• Evaluate emerging cloud technologies and strategic trade-offs, leading the adoption of tools, frameworks, and processes that support immediate needs and long-term platform strategy.
