• Set technical direction for real-time pricing systems that serve decision signals to matching, courier pricing, and other downstream consumers at high throughput and low latency.
• Drive engineering rigor across the team: design reviews, operational excellence, and systems that degrade gracefully under extreme demand - and be a calm, decisive presence when production is on the line.
• Partner closely with Applied Science, Product, and Ops to turn models and marketplace insight into robust production systems, and to influence roadmap direction without formal authority.
• Mentor and grow engineers through code review, design guidance, and technical leadership by example.
• Identify and pay down structural technical debt, balancing long-term system health against a fast-moving business.
