Responsibilities will include:
n
n
Lead solution design for medium-to-large features — frame the problem, choose an approach, and drive it through review.
n
Design the architecture for projects within your team's scope, weighing trade-offs and non-functional requirements such as scalability, security, performance and cost.
n
Translate ambiguous product or business problems into clear technical plans, and make sound decisions with incomplete information.
n
Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code and set a high bar in code review for correctness, design and maintainability.
n
Own features and systems from concept through delivery, maintenance and production support — including monitoring, alerting and incident response.

Improve the team's engineering practices across CI/CD, automation, security, testing and tech-debt management.
