• Set engineering standards for API design (OpenAPI/Swagger), mobile architecture, code quality, testing, and security.
• Own system architecture: design scalable, observable, and cost‑aware services; guide key decisions on data models, integration patterns, eventing, authN/Z.
• Partner with Product and Design to define clear problem statements, acceptance criteria and P50/P80 delivery plans; proactively surface risks, dependencies, and trade‑offs.
• Collaborate with Data teams to instrument the app and services(event schemas, data contracts), enable experimentation/feature flags, and ensure they have the telemetry and access needed to develop insights.
• Enable agents/GenAI features by shaping reliable tool endpoints, guardrails (privacy/PII handling, rate limits, redaction), and evaluation loops; coordinate with platform/ML partners.
• Drive operational excellence: define SLOs/error budgets, instrument metrics/logs/traces, maintain runbooks, manage on‑call, and lead incident reviews that improve reliability.
• Recruit, onboard, and grow engineers; run effective 1:1s, set growth plans, provide continuous feedback, and cultivate psychological safety and accountability.
• Conduct technical design and code reviews; mentor senior and junior engineers; raise the bar on simplicity, maintainability, and performance.
• Champion security and compliance best practices across mobile and backend (secrets management, secure storage, least privilege, threat modeling).
