- Lead observability and experimentation to analyze agent reasoning, ranking signals, and bias.
- Architect workflows around autonomous coding agents and sub-agents.
- Anchor a small engineering squad, set engineering standards, review designs, and make architectural decisions.
- Coach and mentor engineers while improving system design, AI integration, experimentation, and operational excellence.
- Ensure systems are observable, resilient, secure, cost-efficient, and supported by clear SLOs and runbooks.
- Collaborate with product, marketing, data science, SEO/AEO, architecture, legal, and external teams to deliver outcomes.
