• Guide the team through complex architectural decisions across cloud (AWS, GCP), Kubernetes, data infrastructure, and identity systems
• Coach engineers through career growth, technical development, and difficult moments - building a team where people stay, grow, and do their best work

• Familiarity with securing data platforms and pipelines, including access controls, encryption, and data governance patterns
• Track record of coaching and growing security engineers, including through performance management, career development, and difficult feedback
