• Oversee code and design reviews, enforce quality gates, and ensure SOC 2 control mappings (logical access, monitoring, change management, audit trail).

• Plan and coordinate delivery cadence, including the sequencing of build and release windows for engagements subject to production blackout constraints.

• Collaborate with client product owners to convert domain knowledge into technical designs.

• Mentor engineers on Azure architecture, event sourcing, durable orchestration, and Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) design patterns.
