Infrastructure: improve scalability, resilience, capacity, and failure handling. Observability: build metrics/logs/tracing/SLOs and low-noise alerting. Cost + performance: reduce major cost drivers while keeping reliability and latency tight. Developer experience: level up CI/CD, releases, environments, automation, and "golden paths". Security baseline: strengthen IAM, secrets, hardening, and security monitoring without adding friction. Technical leadership: set the platform roadmap, align teams, and drive cross-team execution.
