- Own end-to-end technical delivery: scoping work with stakeholders, making architecture decisions, and following through to production
- Improve developer experience through build tooling, testing infrastructure, documentation, and automation
- Make thoughtful decisions about component composition, API design, and long-term maintainability of a system used by 250+ engineers globally
- Champion performance, accessibility, and web standards as first-class concerns in everything the team ships
