Description

• Architect and build robust systems: design systems that are secure, scalable, and maintainable; architect for deployment in modern cloud-native environments.

• Strategically define when architectural or coding patterns should be established versus when flexibility is more valuable.

• Write clean and maintainable code that will be the foundation for successful products; provide hands-on development to validate architectural decisions.

• Drive critical technical decisions: assess trade-offs and guide teams toward the best path forward, incorporating business context and product goals.

• Coach and mentor engineers, guiding them in technical growth and architectural thinking.

• Track trends in architecture, security, and AI to bring new opportunities into the team.

• Foster deep collaboration: work with stakeholders to refine requirements and align technical direction with business needs; collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless delivery.

• Leverage AI: utilize AI tools to accelerate development and integrate AI solutions into products to build intelligent features.
