  • Raise standards for code quality, modularity, maintainability, performance, accessibility, testing, documentation, code review, security, and technical debt management.

  • Experience identifying recurring problems and converting them into standards, reusable architecture, tooling, shared libraries, and improved ways of working.
  • Ability to mentor senior and mid-level engineers and develop technical leaders without becoming a bottleneck for routine decisions.
  • Comfort working close to implementation when needed while creating leverage across teams and engagements.
  • Ability to collaborate across Engineering, Strategy, Design, Program Management, Operations, Growth, and Account Leadership and influence without direct authority.
