- Own the most complex, high-risk, and cross-cutting technical initiatives end to end, from ambiguous problem to delivered system.
- Define the standards, interfaces, and contracts that multiple teams and products depend on, and shepherd their adoption.

- Expert programming skills in C#, Go, TypeScript, Java, or other modern languages, with authority in API and distributed-systems design.
- Hands-on experience with Claude Code (or comparable agentic AI coding tools) to design, build, and review software at high velocity, and the judgment to set the patterns, standards, and guardrails other engineers follow.
- A track record of owning architecture and technical direction across multiple teams or an entire domain.
- Strong, hands-on AWS expertise designing, hosting, and operating production applications at scale, including compute (e.g., EKS), networking, IAM, managed data stores, and sound scaling, reliability, and cost trade-offs.
- Deep understanding of CICD and hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).
- Experience designing multi-tenant shared services consumed by other engineering teams.
- Familiarity with data modeling, exploration, and visualization at scale.
- Exceptional problem-solving and the ability to drive clarity and technical direction amid significant ambiguity.
