• Partner with product, inference, security, and infrastructure teams to migrate services onto the paved path and make safe deployment the default.
• Drive the roadmap for progressive rollouts, health-check automation, first-class configuration deployment, and expansion to new deployment surfaces.
• Define and track the metrics that measure deployment safety and speed and hold the team accountable to them.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to create clarity across teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of engineering management experience, including leading infrastructure, platform, or developer-experience teams.
• Experience owning continuous delivery, release engineering, or deployment-safety systems.
• Familiarity with progressive delivery techniques such as canary or blue-green deployments and automated rollback.
• Experience with feature flagging or experimentation platforms.
• A background in observability, health checking, or incident response, and a track record of improving production reliability.
• Experience treating configuration as a first-class, safely deployed artifact.
