• Set Engineering Standards - Establish best practices for software development, system design, and scalability, ensuring their adoption across teams through mentoring and collaboration.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally - Work alongside product managers, project managers, and business teams to shape product roadmaps, balance trade-offs, and align engineering efforts with company objectives.
• Guide and Mentor Engineers - Influence and support dozens (or even hundreds) of engineers by providing architectural guidance, resolving technical roadblocks, and fostering a culture of innovation.
