## Description

* Lead the migration of legacy PHP utilities (hosted on the CoE and MSLPS servers, with per-brand copies) to the new DigOps Utilities stack, including cutover, validation with Marketing Operations, and retirement of the legacy code
 * Plan the rebuild or replacement of Marketo-based utilities for SFMC, so marketers keep the same self-service experience on the new platform
 * Own the API and data-integration layer connecting our utilities to Trino/Starburst, Salesforce (ACR, account, and contact tables), and EGA data sources. This includes schema management and Lake Formation permissioning across environments
 * Own the technical roadmap for front-end development across every DigOps project, including the self-service utility UIs marketers and designers use daily
 * Own the AI Orchestration engine that generates Marketo templates from Figma files, and GenAI-assisted Email QA
 * Partner with design and marketing stakeholders to push template build support toward designer self-service
 * Own platform and infrastructure health for DigOps tooling (Okta sign-in and access groups, Cloud Gate Proxy, deployment automation) and drive down tech debt, including reliable background processing (for example idempotent Celery tasks and batch status/failure reporting)
 * Establish engineering best practices for API design, coding, testing, observability, and operational readiness
 * Run support and incident readiness for the utilities: work with Marketing Operations on the utility bug and outage process, and build monitoring and alerting (such as Datadog) so failures are caught and routed before marketers are affected
 * Recruit, develop, and mentor engineers, creating an inclusive, high-performing culture and clear career paths for the engineers below them
 * Partner with cross-functional leads (Data Engineering, Innovation) to align priorities across Supply Marketing
 * Balance near-term delivery commitments with longer-term platform modernization
