 * Define squad technical priorities and advise the Product Owner on product priorities.
 * Own service security and raise feasibility questions and risks early.
 * Stay current on GenAI and emerging technologies and share insights across teams.
 * Lead agentic engineering practices from planning through implementation and iteration.
 * Own pull request process with AI-assisted review before human review and enforce coding norms and patterns.
 * Maintain healthy code scanner findings and test coverage, and prevent new technical debt.
 * Set guardrails for agent-generated code and require validation against specifications and standards.
 * Remove blockers, coach engineers on escalations, validate release timelines, and execute deployments.
 * Manage technical dependencies within and across teams and improve squad velocity and flow.
 * Foster a safe environment for questions, experimentation, and reversible mistakes; support team morale and balance.
