Description
Mentors teams and leads the architecture of highly scalable, interdependent distributed systems. Identifies and removes performance/scalability bottlenecks for hyper‑scale workloads; defines scalability requirements with stakeholders; and designs elastic, high‑impact systems while advancing innovation in data plane platforms. Engineers and oversees fault‑tolerant, in‑service‑upgradable designs; optimizes resilience mechanisms (load‑shedding, throttling, rate‑limiting); and sets SLO‑aligned durability and availability standards across dependent services. Establishes KPIs and advanced telemetry; applies formal verification for complex features; and develops robust replication/synchronization strategies. Advises and leads resolution of complex production issues, sets operational readiness and SOP standards, and directs incident response and RCAs. Architects advanced security controls, drives remediation and compliance, and delivers enterprise‑level automation (IaC) and change strategies enabling safe, automated patching, updates, and rollbacks.
