- Own engineering roadmap execution — partnering with Product and Design to translate business goals into clear, well-scoped plans, and holding the team accountable to delivery.
- Recruit, retain, and develop top engineering talent; build a healthy team culture where people grow and do their best work.
- Establish and evolve engineering processes — code review standards, on-call practices, incident response, and cross-team ways of working — to maximize team effectiveness across time zones.
- Serve as a senior technical voice across the organization, contributing to architectural decisions, evaluating new technologies, and raising the bar on engineering quality.
