• Be a strong partner to product and other engineering teams to drive improvements to business metrics and build new features. Examples include improving user acquisition metrics, cross-selling and upselling products, and improving user experience.
• Drive the design and implementation of new product areas and features. Break down complex problems into their bare essentials, translate this complexity into elegant design, and create high-quality, maintainable code.
• Guide your team through ambiguity and ensure technical excellence through rapid experimentation cycles. 
• Guide your team to strong execution —make pragmatic decisions, and guide teams to launch MVPs quickly and iterate based on feedback.

• You're just as energized diving into architecture, writing clean, scalable code, and solving challenging technical problems as you are mentoring engineers, shaping team culture, and driving delivery. You know when to roll up your sleeves and when to empower others—and you're equally excited to do both.
• You can work comfortably with a cross-functional team of PMs, Analysts, and mobile and back-end-focused engineers.
