• Provide architectural guidance and professional development for a team of 9+.

• 8+ years of industry experience.
• You bring a strong product sense and can be a thought partner with cross‑functional peers.
• Experience selecting and adopting web technologies to improve testing and performance.
• A customer‑centric mindset and will apply that to building out platform services.
• Growth mindset – you're eager to expand your skill set and excited to carve out your career path in a hyper‑growth setting.
