• Technical Enablement: Share knowledge through pairing, code review, documentation and technical discussions. Help engineering teams adopt effective practices and influence technical decisions across teams through evidence, collaboration and clear communication rather than formal authority.
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner with engineering teams to understand pain points, advocate for platform improvements, and embed new capabilities where they deliver the most value.

• Software Design & Architecture: Strong understanding of software architecture, design patterns, and system design.
• Technical Influence: Experience promoting technical improvements, building agreement across teams, and progressing initiatives.
• Communication Skills: Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Benefits and perks:

• Modern offices with great amenities and easy transport access
• Competitive salary package (and bonus opportunities for permanent roles)
• Career development and learning opportunities to support your growth
• Generous parental leave and wellbeing support, including EAP access via Sonder
