- Partner with Product and Engineering VPs to balance innovation speed with reliability via strictly enforced Service Level Objectives and Service Level Indicators.
- Work closely with product and commercial partners to drive, prioritize, and work backwards from customer requirements.
- Drive effective monthly, weekly, and quarterly mechanisms to plan, execute, and audit workstreams.
- Optimize a massive global cloud footprint (AWS/GCP/Azure), ensuring performance doesn't come at the cost of unsustainable burn.
- Champion Infrastructure as Code and self-service tooling so developers can deploy safely without manual intervention.
- Establish a robust and clear engineering roadmap to maintain clarity and motivation for the engineering team.
- Establish measurement of metrics-driven dev productivity across the Mobility SRE organization.
- Comfortably present, influence, and communicate to the senior leadership team with regular updates.
