About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Deliver high-quality, well-tested code with strong velocity and lead technical discussions that raise the bar across the team.
Proactively identify and mitigate risks, estimate large projects, and advocate for technical investments alongside feature work.
Review and optimize system performance, driving meaningful improvements in latency, throughput, and resource consumption.
Make significant design contributions to major systems, writing ADRs and leading design reviews to build consensus before work begins.
Drive scalable, secure, maintainable architecture and apply threat modeling and secure design principles throughout.
Drive team-wide alignment by clarifying goals, communicating proactively with cross-functional partners, and influencing technical decisions through clear reasoning.
Coach engineers across the team, mentor junior engineers with structured development goals, and contribute to interviews and calibration sessions.
Lead large, ambiguous projects end-to-end. Starting with delivery planning through production and maintenance while improving team engineering standards and removing roadblocks.
Own incident response and postmortems for team services, and consistently make sound short- vs. long-term tradeoffs to maintain platform health.
Use AI tools as a force multiplier to accelerate prototyping, scaffolding new services, and reducing time spent on boilerplate so more focus goes to high-judgment engineering work.
Leverage AI to rapidly explore solution spaces, generate proof-of-concepts, and pressure-test designs before committing to implementation.
Apply appropriate skepticism to AI-generated output by reviewing, testing, and owning everything that ships regardless of how it was produced.
