• Working closely with the managers and engineers in your organization to improve engineering efficiency, reduce technical debt, and engender best practices
• Coaching your management team through career growth through mentorship and timely and actionable feedback
• Contributing to solving cross-engineering challenges and driving engineering-wide initiatives
