- Establish and lead ongoing architectural review processes to ensure zonal and regional resiliency for cloud-native applications.
- Partner with development teams to optimize applications for performance, reliability, and cost in the cloud.
- Make direct technical adjustments to improve system stability and guide the team in eliminating single points of failure.
