Improve existing code for performance, maintainability, security, observability, and reliability.
Support product integrations across Cisco, Microsoft Teams, Webex Calling, Genesys Contact Center, Webex Contact Center, call recording platforms, and future communications ecosystems.
Partner with product and business stakeholders to convert customer needs into technical designs and working software.

Cloud, Infrastructure & DevOps

Provide technical oversight for Azure-hosted SaaS infrastructure, including AKS, App Services, Azure Functions, Event Hubs, SignalR, App Gateway WAF, Azure Firewall, and related services.
Support containerized and Kubernetes-based deployment patterns.
Collaborate on CI/CD, release management, monitoring, environment management, and production support.
Design systems for reliability, security, observability, scalability, and cost efficiency.
Improve release predictability, staging and production discipline, and technical transparency.

Technical Leadership

Serve as a senior technical leader and trusted advisor across engineering, product, support, implementation, and executive leadership.
Guide internal engineers and external development partners on architecture, coding standards, design patterns, and technical best practices.
Conduct code reviews, mentor developers, and help establish engineering practices for quality, testing, performance, and maintainability.
Act as a technical escalation point for complex application, integration, infrastructure, and production issues.
Partner closely with ISI leadership to ensure engineering execution aligns with business priorities, customer commitments, and long-term product strategy.
