Mentorship and Continuous Improvement: Guide and mentor other engineers, fostering an environment of Engineering craft excellence where the team continuously improves on their technical skills, Engineering processes and best practices
Planning and Execution: Partner closely with the Engineering Manager, Product Manager, and Product Designer to define project scope, timelines, and deliverables. Drive the successful planning and execution of projects within your team, ensuring alignment with overall product strategy while keeping stakeholders up-to-date on progress, risks and mitigations.
