- **Contribute to architecture**: Participate in team-level architectural decisions around component patterns, state management, navigation, and performance optimization
- **Improve quality proactively**: Identify opportunities to improve app performance, code quality, accessibility, and developer experience — and act on them
- **Guide junior engineers**: Provide technical guidance to Software Engineers I and II through thorough code reviews, pairing sessions, and design feedback
- **Collaborate cross-functionally**: Work with Product, Design, and QA to validate technical decisions and ensure alignment between product goals and implementation
- **Participate in on-call rotation**: Take increasing ownership of incident response, contributing to root cause analysis and systemic improvements
