Own your team's most complex, mission-critical initiatives end to end, from problem framing through production and iteration
Establish and champion engineering best practices, coding standards, architectural patterns, and AI-native development techniques within your team
Multiply your team's impact by mentoring senior and mid-level engineers, raising the quality bar through code review, design review, and your own hands-on work
Partner closely with your product and design counterparts to uncover requirements and align on priorities
Stay current with the state of the art in software engineering and applied AI, and bring the relevant advances into your part of the platform

Proven ability to set technical direction for a team and deliver complex, high-impact projects

Strong business acumen and the ability to translate technical solutions into tangible business value
