Promote CI/CD, infrastructure as code, automated health checks, configuration management, and self‑service tooling to reduce operational toil.

• Strengthen observability:

Establish consistent logging, metrics, dashboards, alerting, and service health reporting using modern observability platforms.

• Manage risk and compliance obligations:

Partner with Risk and Compliance teams to support audit readiness, change governance, access controls, and regulatory expectations such as SOX, FFIEC, GLBA, and PCI, where applicable.

• Lead and develop engineers:

Manage, coach, and grow a team of SRE and platform engineers; set clear goals, support skill development, and foster a blameless, learning‑oriented culture.

• Partner across the organization:

Collaborate with platform owners, security architects, cloud teams, and application teams to align reliability priorities and deliver stable, scalable cybersecurity services.
