• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to other engineers
• Tackle complex challenges—whether technical or process-oriented—and help deliver smart, pragmatic solutions
• Investigate and resolve production issues with urgency and care
• Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and DevOps to ship features that deliver real impact
• Champion best practices in testing, documentation, and secure coding
• Keep an eye on the bigger picture—suggesting improvements to tools, processes, or systems where needed
