• Experience creating engineering standards, reusable frameworks, templates, or best practices.
• Ability to define and measure adoption, productivity, quality, and developer experience KPIs.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence Engineering, Architecture, Security, Testing, and Product organizations.
