deeply involved in design and development. This is not a traditional people-management or delivery-management role-here, you will write code, architect solutions, lead complex projects, and coach engineers to maximize their potential. This role is perfect for leaders seeking high-growth, product-driven environments, who are passionate about distributed systems, and who want to directly influence the design of secure, scalable, and resilient infrastructure while cultivating top engineering talent. What You’ll Do: Architect and design scalable, resilient, high-performance backend systems and platforms in AWS, prioritizing reliability, security, and cost efficiency. Contribute hands-on to key initiatives-including design reviews, prototyping, coding, performance tuning, and debugging-typically 30% of your time, while mentoring engineers and establishing high standards. Lead cross-team technical initiatives; drive design forums, establish engineering guardrails, and ensure high-quality
