• Establish and enforce engineering standards: code quality, security, automated testing, and documentation
• Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing team of full-time engineers and contractors
• manage performance and develop future technical leaders
• Own end-to-end delivery across agile teams — sprint planning, backlog refinement, estimation, and capacity planning — for predictable, high-quality releases
• Partner with DevOps on Azure environments, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and production readiness
• Balance new feature delivery against reliability, performance, and technical-debt reduction
• Own engineering operational metrics (reliability, performance, security) and drive continuous improvement
• Partner cross-functionally with Product, Data, Operations, and Customer Success to translate priorities into execution
• Use AI development tools daily to accelerate design, code review, planning, and documentation, while operating as the experienced human in the loop and setting responsible-use guardrails for the team
