Demonstrating readiness and history of serving as the designated 24x7 executive escalation contact for high-severity platform outages and production incidents

Having a proven ability to step in as the senior incident commander during critical system failures to coordinate cross-functional technical teams (SRE, Engineering, Security, Architecture, and Enterprise Technology).

Experiencing directing escalation workflows involving external service providers, hosting vendors, and shared services supporting after-hours coverage.

Tracking record of designing, staffing, and operating sustainable 24x7 coverage models, including evaluating and implementing follow-the-sun, dedicated overnight shifts, or hybrid staffing structures.

Having practical experience setting on-call policies—balancing primary and secondary rotation load, managing compensation or time off in lieu, standardizing shift handoffs, and actively mitigating on-call engineer burnout.

Planning and safeguarding operations during periods of elevated risk, including release windows, bank holidays, migrations, and seasonal transaction peaks

Ensuring centralized security logging, telemetry, and system visibility are readily accessible to accelerate investigation and resolution during an active threat.

Designing and executing proactive disaster-recovery drills, business continuity testing, failure-injection scenarios, and game-day simulations

Enforcing rigorous operational readiness assessments prior to production launches—verifying automated rollbacks, monitoring coverage, capacity, and runbooks are in place before services go live.

Tracking and presenting operational KPIs to senior leadership, specifically Availability, Time to Detect (TTD), Time to Restore (TTR), recurring incident patterns, and toil reduction metrics.
