  • Raise the technical bar through code reviews, architectural guidance, and fostering best practices in testing, monitoring, and documentation.
  • Mentor and coach engineers across the organization, helping to grow technical skills and leadership capabilities.
  • Partner with leadership to define and execute a multi-year technical roadmap, ensuring that platform investments support company growth at scale.

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong programming skills and CS fundamentals, with mastery in at least one backend language (Java, Python, etc.) and modern frontend frameworks (React, Angular, TypeScript).
  • Proven experience designing and evolving large-scale distributed systems and microservice architectures.
  • Demonstrated ability to own technical domains, making architectural trade-offs and long-term design decisions.
  • Experience driving cross-domain initiatives, coordinating with multiple teams to deliver cohesive solutions.
  • Track record of mentoring engineers, leading technical discussions, and influencing outcomes at an organizational level.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred), CI/CD pipelines, and modern DevOps practices.
  • Passion for solving complex problems, continuously learning, and delivering customer-focused innovations.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.
