- Make architectural decisions that balance speed, scalability, security, and maintainability
- Lead by example through high-quality code, thoughtful reviews, and strong engineering practices
- Collaborate with product and design to shape requirements, scope solutions, and manage tradeoffs
- Mentor mid-level engineers and contribute to the growth of the team
- Improve system performance, reliability, and observability in production environments
- Drive adoption of best practices around testing, CI/CD, and code quality
