Ability to process complex business requirements and engineer a stable, scalable, and efficient architecture to support them.
Strong analytical skills with the ability to engineer precise solutions for complex problems while balancing immediate constraints with long-term scalability.
A self-starter capable of taking full ownership of complex projects and driving them to completion in a rapidly changing environment..
A collaborative mindset with a bias toward over-communication and a belief that individual success is tied to team success.
Dedicated to both personal development and the mentorship of junior engineering staff.
Commitment to automating workflows and improving repeatable engineering processes.
