This role is both highly technical and highly collaborative. You will work closely with geographically distributed teams, participate in recurring and ad hoc technical discussions, and serve as a mentor to junior developers by modeling strong engineering discipline and thought leadership. Your ability to communicate effectively, influence peers, and drive sound engineering decisions will be essential to your success.
