• Drive sprint planning, estimation, and execution in partnership with Product Management and QA.
• Ensure predictable, on-time delivery while balancing short-term sprint goals with long-term technical health.
• Promote agile best practices, collaboration, and a strong sense of ownership within the team.

Technical Execution & Ownership:

• Design, develop, and maintain critical components in Java, Angular, and MySQL, following modern engineering practices.
• Ensure solutions meet high standards of performance, scalability, and reliability.
• Uphold and apply architectural principles, coding guidelines, and system design patterns established by the Staff Engineer group.
• Lead technical design discussions, propose improvements, and guide the team through implementation details.
• Participate in cross-team collaborations on shared libraries, CI/CD improvements, and platform-level enhancements.

Quality & Continuous Improvement:

• Drive a culture of engineering excellence, emphasizing code quality, maintainability, and automation.
• Collaborate with QA engineers to ensure robust test coverage and high-quality releases.
• Proactively identify and reduce technical debt through refactoring and better design practices.
