- **Architecture stewardship:** Own the high-level system design for products (e.g., detergents, food/bev) and keep it aligned with business goals. - **Scalability & reliability:** Ensure services handle peak loads (promotions, seasonal demand), and improve latency, throughput, and uptime. - **System governance:** Define and enforce technical standards (APIs, data contracts, coding/practices, dependency rules) and guide major design reviews. - **Cross-team technical leadership:** Partner with product, data, security, and platform teams to plan migrations, shared components, and long-term roadmap. - **Integration & domain modeling:** Maintain clean boundaries across domains (inventory, pricing, orders, billing, logistics) and keep data models consistent. - **Operational excellence:** Lead incident response for architecture-level issues and drive postmortems into durable fixes (observability, runbooks, tooling).
