  • Reliability and fault isolation
  • Backward‑compatible API evolution
  • Predictable runtime behavior under load
  • Secure data and state management
• Drive best practices across technical domain
• Oversee deployment and operations in cloud‑native, containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Participate in design and code reviews with a focus on correctness, security, and long‑term maintainability.

People Leadership & Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of engineers, fostering strong ownership and accountability.
• Conduct architecture and design reviews within the team.
• Partner closely with:
  • Product management (customer and admin experiences)
  • Security and identity teams
  • Platform, data, and infrastructure teams
• Represent the team in cross‑functional and cross‑org integrations, clearly communicating trade‑offs and risks.
• Translate complex technical considerations into clear guidance for non‑technical stakeholders when needed.

  • Authentication, authorization, and identity flows
  • Multi‑tenant system design
  • Management/control‑plane architectures
• Expert proficiency with .NET / .NET Core, including internals and service‑oriented architecture patterns.

• Experience leading a mission-critical team responsible for critical online services with 99.9% uptime
• Experience with event streaming and messaging systems (Kafka, Kinesis, Pub/Sub, etc.).
• Strong architectural thinking, operational mindset, and problem‑solving skills.

Nice to Have
