• You will independently lead technical designs, actively participate in design reviews, and provide substantive code review feedback that elevates the team's standards.
• Collaboration is central to this role.
• You will work closely with operations teams, business stakeholders, retail promotion platform teams, and partner engineering organizations.
• You will develop a deep understanding of customer workflows and pain points, translating them into well-designed, reliable solutions.
• You will champion operational excellence through proactive monitoring, incident response, and identifying opportunities for automation and process improvement.
