This is a highly visible role where you'll collaborate closely with product and engineering leadership to shape technical roadmaps, influence architecture decisions and contribute to the long-term evolution of the platform. You'll be responsible for delivering high-quality, resilient software, improving engineering processes and tooling, and driving best practice across development, testing, deployment and monitoring.
