• Own the multi-region data architecture across six AWS-native engines: Aurora MySQL, Cassandra, ElastiCache (Redis / Valkey), DynamoDB, DocumentDB, and Neptune. For each, define the cross-region replication pattern (Aurora Global Database, DynamoDB Global Tables, DocumentDB Global Clusters, Cassandra multi-DC, MemoryDB or Valkey global datastore, Neptune Global Database) and the operational model that supports it. • Define and own the per-tier RTO and RPO commitments (Tier 0 / Tier 1 / Tier 2) and the cutover and failback runbooks and perform validation using Fault Injection Service / Game Days. • Sequence the data-layer cutover across all three program phases. Identify strong-consistency vs eventual-consistency decisions per workload, and where active-active is feasible vs where region-sharded ledgers or single-writer with replicated read-models is the right pattern. • Lead a team of Database Engineers across the engines. Set the technical bar, review designs, and unblock implementation. Partner with the client's DB and SRE leadership on architecture decisions and Operational Readiness Reviews. • Translate data-layer constraints into the application decomposition strategy. Where the monolith is being broken up into microservices, advise on data ownership boundaries (DDD-aligned), strangler-fig extraction patterns, CDC pipelines (DMS, DDB Streams, Kafka Connect), and the event-based contracts that decouple services from the monolith. • Produce the audit-grade artifacts the client and their regulators expect: replication runbooks, DR test evidence, RTO and RPO measurement methodology, and Well-Architected Reliability Pillar alignment.
