• Future‑Proof Architecture: Set the technical direction for scalable, maintainable software while enforcing rigorous coding standards and best practices.
• AI‑Augmented Engineering: Lead the adoption of AI‑assisted development—leveraging coding assistants, automated testing, and intelligent workflows to 10x team efficiency.
• Security & Performance: Maintain a relentless focus on platform security, performance, and compliance, ensuring a "zero‑defect" mindset across the lifecycle.

Your impact will be visible, measurable, and global.

• Experience with Agile methodologies and tools such as Jira or equivalent.
• Demonstrated ability to handle ambiguity, prioritize work, and resolve complex technical and organizational challenges.
• Familiarity with AI‑assisted development tools and practices (e.g., GitHub Copilot, AI code review, automated testing).
