Key skills for this role
Own the Platform Boundary: Work directly with Product engineering teams to define what should live in the platform versus in individual products, bringing a clear point of view — not just implementing what's requested, but shaping what gets built and why.
Navigate Ambiguity: Take on problems that arrive as open questions rather than finished requirements — competing constraints from multiple teams, unclear ownership, evolving priorities — and drive them to a sound technical direction.
Lead and Multiply: Act as a senior technical leader on the Platform team, coaching engineers and elevating modern software engineering and AI-first development practices across the organization.
AI-Driven Development: Champion the adoption of AI-assisted development, guiding the team on how to effectively and safely use AI for coding, testing, and delivery as tools and models rapidly evolve.
Architect and Build: Design, develop, and evolve scalable, high-performance frontend and backend systems and shared services using a modern full-stack approach.
Quality and Reliability: Lead by example through clean code, thoughtful reviews, test-driven development, and strong operational discipline in production.
Scale and Optimize: Anticipate performance and scaling challenges, using monitoring and observability tools to drive continuous improvement.
Collaborate and Influence: Partner closely with Product and Design to deliver cohesive solutions and clearly communicate technical decisions across teams.
Senior Engineering Experience: 5+ years of professional software development experience, including system design, development, and testing of scalable, database-driven applications.
Platform Mindset: A curious, systems-level thinker who's comfortable with ambiguous or incomplete requirements, and who can form and articulate an opinion on what belongs in a shared platform versus a specific product.
