• Excellent communication skills - able to explain complex technical topics to technical and non-technical audiences alike.
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams.

Responsibilities

• Drive significant technical initiatives end-to-end and across every layer of the stack - from API and data design to front-end experience.
• Architect and build scalable, secure, cloud-native applications and services that interoperate cleanly with the systems around them.
• Stay hands-on - roughly 70% of your time is spent coding - while setting the technical direction for your team.
• Act as the technical subject-matter expert: lead the design of complex features, mentor engineers, and lead a small team through hard programming and design problems.
• Lead requirements gathering, technical design, and project and test planning.
• Identify high-impact opportunities to apply AI - both to enhance our products and to accelerate our own engineering - and coach the team on using AI tools and techniques effectively and responsibly.
• Take AI-powered features to production and evaluate their impact on performance and customer outcomes with the right metrics.
• Champion engineering quality: automated testing, CI/CD, observability, performance, security, accessibility, and internationalization.
• Communicate clearly through crisp technical docs and design reviews, and partner across product, design, QE, and other engineering teams to deliver results.
• Own quality through the full lifecycle, resolving issues across QA, pre-production, production, and post-release.
