You will apply strong software design expertise to build scalable, adaptable solutions, contributing to both new feature development and ongoing improvements. Collaboration is central to the role, working across engineering, architecture, and product teams to align on platform standards and ensure quality and consistency. A key expectation is to lead by example—mentoring junior engineers, supporting their career growth, and helping raise the overall technical bar of the team. You will stay closely connected to user needs by engaging with UX research and feedback, ensuring that what you build is client-focused and aligned to measurable business outcomes.
