Reliability & Uptime: Hold accountability for system uptime and reliability in the high 99.99% range across production systems; drive the monitoring, incident response, root-cause analysis, and engineering discipline required to sustain that bar at scale. Information Security: Own the organization's information security posture and security infrastructure, partnering with Compliance and Risk to ensure systems, data, and customer information are protected against evolving threats, and that the company meets regulatory and investor security requirements. AI Strategy: Set direction for the company's AI strategy and investment, overseeing in-house AI initiatives (including proprietary AI-powered platform capabilities, automation, and applied AI/ML use cases) and evaluating where AI can responsibly improve efficiency, customer experience, and decisioning.
