- Lead teams responsible for GCP projects and clusters, Kubernetes, networking, service discovery, routing, gateways, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and observability.
- Define ownership between Platform and SRE, enabling product teams to run services effectively with strong tooling, standards, and incident support.
- Raise reliability standards across production systems, including dashboards, alert severity, paging, service ownership, on-call readiness, and incident response.
- Establish clear deployment paths, production-readiness checks, safe rollouts, and automation.
- Partner with Product, Engineering, Security, Support, Sales, and Customer Success on uptime, latency, scale, compliance, trust, and cost.
- Own cloud cost discipline and make infrastructure tradeoffs visible.
- Shape longer-term architecture for multi-region scale, disaster recovery, data residency, and customer trust requirements.
- Hire, coach, and develop infrastructure leaders and engineers.

- Strong communication skills with executives, product leaders, engineers, and customer-facing teams.
