Job description

• Technical Ownership: Act as the technical anchor for major initiatives in your team’s domain owing the technical approach and accountable for delivery.
• Code Excellence: Set the benchmark for the team with clean, maintainable, highly performant code. Lead constructive code reviews that raise the technical floor of the whole team.
• Observability First: Own the production health of your team’s domain. Build and maintain Datadog dashboards and monitors tracking SLOs/SLIs and drive rapid incident response.
• Test and Learn: Design and manage A/B tests using Eppo and make experimentation a default part of how your team ships — helping the team iterate on real customer data.
• Collaboration: Partner closely with Product, UX, and cross-team stakeholders to shape business requirements into technical design docs and actionable tickets.
• Momentum: We work in short cycles, code released in days, experiments read out weekly, priorities adjusting as results come in. You anchor initiatives that ship at this rhythm and make the speed sustainable — for the codebase and for the engineers learning from you.
• Mentorship: Provide consistent technical guidance to earlier-career engineers, helping them navigate complex integrations (e.g., Salesforce) and grow their scope.
