You will lead the architecture, design, and implementation of critical systems with high impact across multiple teams. You will also drive technical strategy and set engineering standards for scalability, performance, security, and reliability. You will collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, and business to influence product direction. Recognize how software and systems engineering drive revenue and reduce costs, and use that lens to prioritize initiatives based on business impact. You will also hire and mentor senior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, design sessions, and informal coaching. Dive deep into the code, especially in high-stakes systems (think: distributed systems, high-throughput APIs, low-latency pipelines). Evaluate and introduce emerging technologies that can create meaningful leverage. Brainstorm with the executive team on new initiatives from a software perspective.
