- Provide technical guidance to Support and Customer Success on DMS-specific issues and integration edge cases.
- Serve as a primary escalation point for P0/P1 incidents — respond, contain, communicate, and document.

- Maintain runbook documentation in Confluence; keep escalation contacts current.
- Own application-layer security: code-level vulnerability remediation, SAST findings, dependency management, and repo access.
- Serve as the engineering point of contact in SOC 2 and PCI-DSS audits.
- Coordinate with IT and SRE on cross-functional security policies.
