- Develop full-stack functionality using Python and a relational database for a broad consumer audience.
- Collaborate with senior leaders and fellow engineers to decide which work best supports user growth, engagement and retention.
- Conduct qualitative and quantitative research to shape priorities and designs, taking a product-minded approach in the absence of dedicated product managers.
- Lead the creation of new capabilities in areas such as search, personalization, partner integrations, localization and media.
- Coach junior colleagues and contribute to shared engineering standards as the team expands.
- Design and evaluate experiments and analyze data to understand the effect of each release and spot further improvements.
- Stay close to end users by drawing on their feedback and support conversations when deciding what to build.
