Role Overview

Serve as a senior individual contributor with strong technical authority across critical digital product domains.

Take technical ownership for platform quality, resilience, reliability, security, performance, and operational readiness.

Provide technical leadership to vendor engineering teams without direct line-management responsibility.

Retain critical platform knowledge and ensure the organization can independently operate and evolve its digital platforms.

Responsibilities

  • Own the assigned digital domain end to end and maintain its architecture, standards, and technical roadmap.
  • Lead design, implementation, integration, release, and production operations.
  • Challenge vendor engineering teams and review architecture, APIs, data models, integrations, code quality, and technical decisions.
  • Validate vendor deliverables through acceptance criteria and measurable technical evidence.
  • Monitor technical KPIs, service-level objectives, availability, latency, recovery, and performance.
  • Implement automated testing, CI/CD, monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting controls.
  • Validate rollout, rollback, capacity testing, disaster recovery, and production readiness plans.
  • Lead incident management, root-cause analysis, remediation, and management of technical debt and architectural risk.
  • Maintain architecture documentation, technical decisions, runbooks, and support procedures.
  • Drive knowledge transfer and reusable engineering practices across digital assets.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, information technology, or a related discipline.
  • Extensive experience in a lead, staff, principal engineer, technical lead, or senior architecture role.
  • Experience designing and operating large-scale distributed, cloud-native, and highly available platforms.
  • Experience with customer-facing digital products such as commerce, payments, loyalty, identity, ticketing, or mobile platforms.

Technical Requirements

  • Strong hands-on engineering capability and implementation-level technical judgment.
  • Strong knowledge of APIs, microservices, event-driven architecture, distributed systems, data consistency, and failure recovery.
  • Experience with resilience, observability, performance engineering, security, automated testing, CI/CD, and production operations.
  • Experience overseeing vendors, system integrators, or outsourced engineering teams.
  • Strong incident management, root-cause analysis, problem management, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
