## About the Role

Do you have experience in Technical writing within technology?, * 5+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping production code

 * Extensive experience designing, building, and operating production software systems at scale
 * Track record of setting technical direction for a team or major system and shipping the associated outcomes
 * Demonstrated ability to establish shared patterns, templates, or guardrails that other engineers adopt
 * Strong system design skills-scaling patterns, reliability controls (timeouts, retries, backpressure, caching), and first-class observability
 * Experience leading refactors, deprecations, or modernization efforts that reduce long-term cost of change
 * Proven ability to influence engineering direction across multiple teams through writing, reviews, and coaching
 * Strong cross-functional partnership skills with Product, Design, and Engineering Management
 * Excellent written and verbal communication, including decision docs, design summaries, and incident follow-ups
 * Alignment with StrongMind's core values: Kindness, Accountability, Collaboration, Innovation, and Grit

Bonus points if you also have:

 * Experience shaping AI-enabled or data-intensive platforms, or establishing applied AI development standards
 * Deep experience with AWS or a comparable cloud and distributed systems
 * Experience improving developer experience, CI/CD, or internal platform capabilities
 * EdTech or mission-driven product experience
 * Experience introducing privacy-by-design or secure-SDLC practices across a team

## Description

* Lead design reviews and implementation for larger, cross-cutting efforts; set technical direction within a scope
 * Establish reusable patterns-service templates, libraries, guardrails, and default configurations-that multiple teams adopt
 * Drive refactors and reliability improvements that measurably reduce recurring defects and incident volume
 * Introduce data contracts, validation gates, and coordinated migrations that align shared entities and ownership
 * Improve performance practices by introducing dashboards, benchmarks, and post-incident systemic fixes; coach others on effective use of AI-assisted tools
 * Introduce security and privacy guardrails (secure templates, CI checks, safer defaults) that reduce recurring findings across the team
 * Lead team-level planning: establish shared expectations for breakdown, sizing, and sequencing; surface risks early and keep work flowing
 * Create communication norms (design/decision docs, incident comms templates) and mentoring structures (onboarding plans, buddy systems) that scale the team
 * Unblock teammates on hard technical problems and advocate for scope decisions in product terms

This role balances deep technical execution, product thinking, and cross-team influence and is well-suited for someone who enjoys building impactful systems, elevating engineering craft, and integrating emerging technologies into real products.
