• Ensure solutions are production-ready, with strong attention to scalability, performance, reliability, accessibility, localization, security, and maintainability
• Lead technical breakdown of large initiatives into well-scoped epics, stories, dependencies, and implementation plans
• Support teams in resolving complex production issues, integration challenges, and cross-system dependencies
• Raise the engineering quality bar by embedding testability, automation, and observability into the development lifecycle
• Define expectations for unit, integration, functional, E2E, and production validation strategies
• Champion quality gates across CI/CD, including automated testing, code coverage, smoke testing, monitoring, and release readiness
• Drive improvements in web performance, including Core Web Vitals, page load time, bundle optimization, caching strategies, and API efficiency
• Ensure critical customer journeys are measurable, observable, and resilient in production
• Improve developer productivity by simplifying local development, debugging, testing, deployment, and operational workflows
• Build or influence reusable frameworks, shared libraries, tooling, and documentation that help multiple engineers move faster with confidence

• Promote consistent engineering practices across repositories and teams
• Partner with Product, XD, Program, Content, Marketing, DevOps, Security, Data/Analytics, and partner engineering teams to deliver end-to-end business outcomes
• Drive alignment across multiple teams when requirements, architecture, dependencies, or delivery plans are unclear
• Communicate technical trade-offs clearly to both engineering and non-engineering stakeholders
• Help leadership make informed decisions by presenting options, risks, mitigation plans, and recommended paths forward
• Mentor senior and mid-level engineers through design reviews, code reviews, technical discussions, and delivery execution
• Raise the technical bar by modeling strong ownership, judgment, engineering discipline, and customer-focused thinking
• Influence engineering culture by promoting high standards in architecture, quality, documentation, reliability, and operational readiness
• Act as a force multiplier for the team by enabling others to deliver better, faster, and with more confidence

Requirements

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with strong hands-on expertise in full-stack web application development
• Deep experience with modern frontend technologies such as JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, or similar frameworks
• Strong backend development experience with Node.js, Java, Python, or similar technologies
• Experience designing and integrating RESTful APIs, GraphQL APIs, microservices, or distributed systems
• Proven ability to lead complex technical initiatives across multiple engineers, teams, services, or repositories
• Strong understanding of web performance, accessibility, security, scalability, reliability, and observability
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, production deployments, and release validation
• Strong system design skills and ability to make sound architectural trade-offs
• Demonstrated ability to influence technical direction without direct authority
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical topics to engineering and business stakeholders
