Responsibilities

  • Serve as the technical lead for the team, defining and communicating the technical vision, aligning it with product goals, and ensuring the squad delivers high-quality, maintainable solutions on schedule.
  • Own the end-to-end execution of complex initiatives: break down ambiguous problem spaces, create clear technical plans, delegate work across engineers, and drive projects from design through production launch and iteration.
  • Mentor and coach engineers on the squad, raising the technical bar through design reviews, pairing, and feedback on code quality, testing, observability, and operational excellence.
  • Lead the team through complex projects from start to finish, removing ambiguity, aligning engineers and stakeholders, and driving clear technical decisions, proactively identifying risks, unblocking the team, and making clear trade-off decisions.
  • Oversee the technical design, development, and testing of new features for our publishing and content management systems, ensuring they are scalable, secure, and performant.
