Drive engineering engagement best practices (e.g., Operational Excellence, Security, Quality, etc.) and set standards. Work to resolve the root cause of endemic problems including areas where your team limits the innovation of other teams (bottlenecks). This may require you to influence software decisions made by other teams. When confronted with discordant views, you can find the best way forward and influence others to follow that path. Actively help others leverage your expertise through coaching and mentoring. You understand proper data storage, classification, optimization techniques.
