A day in the life

Your mornings are usually free for focus work -- architecture, deep dives, and hard problems. Around 11 you'll have standup, then grab lunch with the team (if you like) before the afternoon opens up for design reviews, CR feedback, or unblocking an engineer. Some days you're deep in code; others you're on a call with a customer team working through how their system integrates with yours. You're the person who knows the system most deeply -- and you work to ensure you're never the bottleneck. The problems are hard and the stakes are high -- but we believe we can move fast, do exceptional work, and have a full life outside of it.
