● Make Infrastructure Decisions with Product Context: Design and implement infrastructure solutions that reflect product priorities, user needs, and long-term business goals - balancing cost, performance and reliability.

● Drive DevOps Best Practices: Champion infrastructure-as-code, automated deployments, observability and robust monitoring across all environments.

● Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with product managers, developers, QA and leadership to align technical decisions with roadmap objectives.

● Mentor & Guide Engineering Teams: Provide technical leadership to junior and mid-level engineers across MERN and DevOps domains.
