• Explain non-functional requirements and architectural designs clearly in both written and verbal formats.
• Spot strategic technical debt and help drive its reduction.
• Work closely with development teams to keep solutions aligned with approved architecture.
• Assess and recommend technologies, tools, and processes that improve product quality.
• Offer technical guidance and mentoring to engineering teams.
• Contribute directly to core platform packages and template projects.
• Stay current with emerging technologies that can improve the platform and delivery outcomes.
• Work with Architecture, DevOps, and Platform Engineering teams to automate deployments, apply governance, and support regulatory compliance.
• Protect data security, privacy, and adherence to internal policies and external standards.
