Software Engineer II - Technical Leadership Track

• The first 30 days are about learning with purpose: understanding our goals, getting a clear picture of the customer journey, and building fluency in the codebase. As you onboard, you'll develop features that are small enough to help you ramp quickly, but substantial enough to matter.
• As you continue to design, implement, and deliver features, you’ll start taking on less‐defined challenges where you’ll sharpen requirements in addition to developing thoughtful solutions that meaningfully improve the customers' experience. In doing so, you'll create clarity and momentum that enables you and your teammates to deliver exceptional experiences.
• As you progress you will begin to coach others and broaden your collaboration. This can look like participation in code reviews, mentoring more junior engineers, and contributing to team-wide engineering quality. You will continue to work across teams as you design and implement features that can impact our customers.
• Throughout your career you will drive your development. You will develop domain expertise, explore new technologies, and bring new perspectives to the challenges your team is tackling. In doing so, you'll create clarity and momentum that enables you and your teammates to deliver exceptional experiences.

• You will start by diving into assignments that require thoughtful solutions and a deep understanding of the customer benefit or business need, not just execution. You will develop larger features with open questions that require you to do research and think through and discuss tradeoffs before implementation.
