• Manage, coach, and develop a team of Risk Engineers with diverse technical skill sets. • Set clear expectations for technical rigor, ownership, and outcomes. • Build a high-performing culture that values engineering excellence, accountability, and collaboration. • Support career development, performance management, and succession planning. • Establish and maintain technical direction for how risk is engineered into platforms, architectures, and pipelines. • Ensure risk requirements are consistently translated into implementable solution patterns, not just documentation. • Prioritize work based on risk reduction value, system criticality, and recovery dependencies. • Review and challenge designs to ensure controls are effective, automatable, and evidence-driven. • Partner with cloud, platform, security, and SRE leaders to embed risk controls directly into engineering workflows. • Balance near-term risk mitigation with long-term architectural resilience. • Represent Risk Engineering in senior forums, articulating tradeoffs and decisions with clarity and credibility. • Ensure teams deliver outcomes that measurably reduce risk—not just activity.
