requirements. Guides team on driving efforts to ensure all code for a set of products/solutions is properly flighted for quicker mitigation of production incidents. Establishes standards for the correct measures to deploy products. Guides others on and leads efforts to ensure that solutions are deployed in a safe manner, rolling out security-sensitive features only to applicable, relevant customers and scenarios to reduce the attack surface. Guides others on and leads efforts to proactively monitor dependency status and ensure that only the latest, secure versions are deployed. Ensures deployment infrastructure is in place to allow developers' private builds for a set of products/solutions to be tested in a production-like environment. Ensures there are time and resources for engineers to conduct experiments. Managers deliver success through empowerment and accountability by modeling, coaching, and caring. Enable success across boundaries. Ensures ongoing support for services or products are robust and effective through effective telemetry and incident response processes and adhering to security best practices for the most critical or highest impact spaces such as those with deep technical domains connections or a broad set of products or services at critical junctures (e.g., early in development, urgent time horizon). Establishes guidelines and policies for creating telemetry and novel processes or tools for telemetry, engaging in live site maintenance and responding to incidents. Provides technical oversight on telemetry in systems and products to provide feedback on system behavior such as performance, reliability, availability, utility, and implements safety mechanisms resulting in iterative feedback loops resulting in subsequent monitoring designs. Provides technical oversight and expertise in efforts to classify, analyze, and interpret data and analyses on a range of metrics (e.g., health of the system, where bugs might be occurring), and technical leadership for creating outputs (e.g., notifications, dashboards) that improve monitoring and investigating security-related concerns and scenarios, system monitoring and/or issue identification and mitigation.
