• Define and enforce enterprise‐grade authentication and authorization frameworks (OAuth2, OIDC, mTLS, SPIFFE/SPIRE, RBAC/ABAC).
• Apply IP networking expertise to design resilient hybrid network topologies, SDN, VPC/VNet peering, and traffic security.
• Provide technical leadership, conduct code and architecture reviews, and mentor engineering teams.
• Champion modern DevOps, GitOps, and CI/CD automation (ArgoCD, Flux, Terraform, Pulumi).
• Implement observability, telemetry, and distributed tracing using OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana.
• Collaborate with product and research groups to translate AI and automation requirements into scalable solutions.
