• Mentor and support engineers across the team, fostering a culture of quality, ownership, and continuous improvement.
• Contribute to cross-functional planning, architectural reviews, and team-wide engineering practices.

Experience:

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to lead technical discussions and build consensus across functions.
• A growth mindset and interest in mentoring others and upleveling the team.

Nice to Haves:
