• Code Quality & Technical Standards:
• Deliver high-quality, well-tested code and act as a force-multiplier, raising standards through code reviews, pairing and design discussions
• Champion practical testing, type-safe APIs and pragmatic patterns that shape long-term technical direction across the team
• Set the example on AI-assisted development and coach engineers on where it genuinely speeds the team up and where human judgement needs to stay in the loop
• Working closely with your PM, you'll bring clarity to complex problems and help define sharply scoped, impactful deliverables
• Your success won't be measured by your own output alone, but by the output, quality and growth of the whole team around you
