• Building a culture of ownership, psychological safety, and continuous learning within your team
• Managing delivery across multiple workstreams, removing blockers, managing dependencies, and communicating status and risk to leadership
• Contributing to the broader engineering organization through participation in technical governance, architecture reviews, and cross-team initiatives
• Championing developer experience and engineering productivity improvements that benefit teams beyond your own
• Staying current with industry trends and technologies, evaluating their applicability to our platform and advocating for strategic adoption where appropriate

• Experience delivering complex, cross-functional engineering initiatives on time and within scope
• Experience in platform engineering, developer experience, or infrastructure teams
• Experience with Python, Go, Java, or Node.js in a production context
• Experience with observability platforms (Datadog, New Relic, Grafana, Splunk) and SRE practices
