-Define and implement global technology product strategy aligned with leadership vision and architectural principles.

-Partner with product owners to build multi‑release roadmaps for new products/features (functional + non‑functional: scalability, latency, security).

-Translate business & stakeholder requirements into a globally scalable, low‑debt technology product backlog.

-Drive architectural decisions (domain boundaries, APIs, data models, integration patterns, micro‑frontend/microservice decomposition).

-Ensure engineering teams clearly understand requirements

balance delivery speed with refactoring and technical debt remediation.

-Establish and enforce coding standards, secure SDLC practices, architectural review gates, and design documentation.

-Champion test strategy (unit/integration/contract/performance/security) and automation coverage targets.

-Advance DevOps culture: CI/CD pipelines, trunk‑based or GitOps workflows, automated environment provisioning.

-Embed observability (structured logging, metrics, tracing), SLOs, performance budgets, and proactive capacity planning.

-Integrate reliability engineering (incident response playbooks, chaos/resilience testing).

-Collect and analyze feedback (customers, stakeholders, telemetry) to refine technical roadmap and quality initiatives.

-Monitor industry trends

recommend pragmatic adoption (e.g., AI coding assistants, infra as code, event streaming).

-Lead, motivate, mentor, and coach multiple engineering teams

build succession and growth paths.

-Build and retain high‑performing teams (hiring, onboarding, skill matrix).

-Uphold compliance, security, privacy, and deliver fair customer outcomes for regulated markets.

-Proven end‑to‑end product lifecycle management.

-Hands‑on software engineering background (backend + API design

preferably banking/transaction systems).

-Strong experience in scalable architectures (microservices, modular monolith, micro‑frontend) and integration (REST/GraphQL/events).

-Deep knowledge of software design patterns, domain modeling, data access strategies, caching, and performance tuning.

-Demonstrated implementation of CI/CD pipelines, automated quality gates (lint, tests, security scan, dependency audit).

-Solid grasp of secure coding practices (authN/Z, encryption, secrets management, OWASP).

-Experience with infrastructure automation (containers, Kubernetes, IaC).

-Observability mindset: metrics, tracing, logging, alerting, SLO management.

-Agile delivery expertise (Scrum/Kanban, iterative planning) with Jira/Confluence.

-Strong stakeholder management, communication, and cross‑functional leadership.

-Ability to provide thought leadership, drive complex change, challenge status quo.

-Problem‑solving and creative thinking in ambiguous multi‑region environments.
