• Experience leading cross-team technical initiatives and building consensus on architectural decisions.
• Proven ability to mentor and grow engineers through design reviews, pairing, and technical coaching.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across distributed teams.
• A strong ownership mentality and drive to solve the most important problems.
• A rapid learner with robust analytical and problem-solving abilities.
