• Comfortable working closely with Product Managers, turning vague business goals into clear technical roadmaps and proactive surfacing edge cases and constraints. 

• Strong personality and confident communicator who can represent the technical team to external stakeholders and push back on unrealistic expectations when needed. 

• Experienced in leading and mentoring other senior engineers, especially through code reviews and technical discussions. 

• Acts as a “force multiplier” in the team by improving CI/CD processes, unblocking technical deadlocks, and raising the overall quality and resilience of delivered code.
