 * Collaborate with stakeholders across engineering, product, and operations to build infrastructure that unlocks product innovation and operational excellence.
 * Establish and evolve engineering processes for continuous improvement, velocity, and quality.
 * Invest in recruiting and developing engineering talent through coaching, mentorship, and ongoing feedback (including 360 feedback).
 * Promote a high-agency, high-accountability team culture with a bias for action and clear communication.
 * Advocate for technical excellence and pragmatic decision-making, grounded in deep system knowledge.
