- Review and approve pull requests and provide constructive feedback that raises overall application quality.
- Mentor fellow engineers and help set the technical bar for the team.
- Collaborate async-first with engineering, product, and design across distributed time zones.
- Contribute to architectural decisions and async planning via written documentation, Jira, and Confluence.
