Set Engineering Standards - Establish best practices for software development, system design, and scalability, ensuring their adoption across teams through mentoring and collaboration. Collaborate Cross-Functionally - Work alongside product managers, project managers, and business teams to shape product roadmaps, balance trade-offs, and align engineering efforts with company objectives. Guide and Mentor Engineers - Influence and support dozens (or even hundreds) of engineers by providing architectural guidance, resolving technical roadblocks, and fostering a culture of innovation. Hands-On Problem Solving - Engage in critical coding tasks, build proof-of-concepts, and validate design decisions through practical implementation
