- Coach and mentor engineers on reliability best practices, career growth, and technical skills
- Create a safe, inclusive environment where the team can experiment, learn, and deliver
- Provide regular, constructive feedback and drive performance through recognition and development
- Facilitate collaboration across teams, resolving friction constructively

- Translate engineering strategy into clear team priorities aligned with company goals
- Prioritize work based on business impact
- Drive incident management processes and post-incident reviews
- Ensure compliance with certifications (e.g., SOC 2) and security best practices
- Coordinate with the US-based team to align workload priorities with the platform centralization strategy
