• Ensure observability, monitoring, and resilience are integral to all platform architectures.
• Collaborate with data and AI platform teams to ensure alignment between infrastructure, data pipelines, and MLOps environments.

Embedded Security and Resilience

• Partner with enterprise and security architects to align infrastructure designs with global security standards and regulatory frameworks.
• Support threat modeling, risk assessments, and architecture assurance reviews for infrastructure and AI deployments.
• Apply resilience-by-design principles, incorporating redundancy, failover, and recovery mechanisms across cloud and on-prem environments.
• Champion a culture of secure-by-default and continuous improvement in infrastructure and cloud operations.

Architecture Governance and Standards
