Optimize and make critical design decisions while balancing trade-offs at scale.

Mentor SDE-II / I engineers, evangelize engineering best practices, and foster a culture of continuous improvement.

Govern engineering metrics adoption, test-first / TDD / BDD practices, and technical debt reduction.

Design and integrate enterprise-scale systems with emphasis on cloud, APIs, and distributed architectures.

Proactively adopt and evangelize DevOps, automation-first mindset, and modern CI / CD practices.

Lead reviews of system design, integration, performance, and scalability.

Collaborate cross-functionally with recruitment, learning, and people teams to develop technical talent.
