 * Setting technical direction and ensuring solutions are secure, scalable and maintainable
 * Reviewing external vendor delivery: solution quality, technical risk, and output
 * Working with internal Back End and platform teams to define API contracts, agree dependencies, and resolve blockers
 * Leading technical discovery and feasibility work alongside Product Owners, BAs and designers
 * Mentoring engineers and running code reviews
 * Defining the mobile testing strategy and test automation approach
 * Representing the mobile product in technical governance and planning forums
