• Define and enforce solution compliance across products: network isolation, least-privilege access, secrets hygiene, and deployment guardrails.
• Own the developer experience: set the standard for local development environments and deployment documentation so engineers across the distributed team can onboard quickly and operate with minimal infrastructure friction.

Technical Leadership & Team Development – 20%

• Lead and mentor DevOps engineers: set technical direction, review designs, grow the team's depth, and raise the bar on engineering practice.
• Anticipate the needs of stakeholders across NGSS and the wider business, and shape the platform roadmap proactively rather than reactively.
• Partner with architects, product engineers, and security teams to align on infrastructure standards and shape platform roadmaps across NGSS.
