- Partner deeply with Engineering Managers and Architects to understand technical constraints and trade-offs, ensuring project plans are realistic and technically sound.
- Develop and maintain sophisticated dashboards (using Jira and other tools) to track health, focusing on lead times, cycle times, and throughput to provide a transparent view of engineering health to leadership.
