What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead distributed, multi-tenant platform teams where I can own reliability and observability (SLI/SLOs, incident response), scale engineering execution, and deliver API-first SaaS roadmaps with strong stakeholder alignment.

I’m a Senior Engineering Manager in Bengaluru with 11+ years across distributed systems, Java/Go backend platforms, and API-first SaaS. I lead reliability-focused, high-throughput products where uptime, latency, and incident response readiness matter.

I’ve built and modernized multi-tenant platforms, delivering 99.99% uptime and sub-second P95 latency while scaling teams from 4 to 20 engineers. I pair architecture with observability—integrating CloudWatch, Elasticsearch, New Relic, and Prometheus/Grafana SLI/SLO dashboards—to drive faster MTTR and more predictable delivery.

Across my roles, I’ve owned financial workflow orchestration (repayments, foreclosures, accounting, reversals, reallocations), designed idempotent failure-resilient services, and improved performance through query optimization, caching, and service decomposition. I also invest in team excellence: structured on-call ownership, blameless postmortems, roadmap alignment, and AI-assisted development practices.
