• Embed a secure‑by‑design mindset and controls from design to runtime, safeguarding colleagues and customers.
• Define and operate against SLOs/SLIs; implement actionable observability, performance tuning and automation to reduce toil.
• Enable API‑first delivery with reusable patterns and golden paths for API producers/consumers; contribute to documentation and enablement.
• Mentor engineers and contribute to communities of practice, upholding Platform Engineering standards expected at Band

• Containers & orchestration (Kubernetes) and service‑mesh patterns (e.g., Istio).
• API design and security (REST/OpenAPI, auth
  
  N/Z, mTLS and certificate lifecycle).
• Scripting in Bash, Power Shell or Python.
