• Stay close to the code. Keep your hands in the work by writing and reviewing high-quality, well-tested code, and facilitating design discussions the team captures in RFCs and ADRs
• Champion quality and security. Help the team weave secure coding and the SSDLC into how they work
• Keep our systems dependable. Work with the team to safeguard the availability, resilience, and observability of our services
• Shape planning and steady delivery. Partner with Product Managers and Architects on the roadmap, smooth out cross-team dependencies, and protect the team's focus so they can deliver predictably
• Manage stakeholders across the value stream. Build trusted relationships with Product, Architecture, Operations, Compliance, and other engineering teams; create transparency on constraints, dependencies, and trade-offs, and help stakeholders understand what is feasible, when, and why
• Lead through ambiguity and changing priorities. Bring structure to unclear or fast-moving situations, clarify options and trade-offs, and help the team stay focused while adapting to business, regulatory, and operational needs
• Act as a dependable integration partner. Help other teams understand how to integrate with Core Banking services, anticipate downstream impacts, and resolve dependencies without creating unnecessary complexity
