You will need strong hands-on web engineering experience, as well as the ability to influence technical direction across multiple teams.

* Creating shared libraries and standards
* Improving developer experience
* Reducing engineering toil
* Supporting technical adoption across teams
* Coaching and mentoring senior engineers
* Helping shape how the platform evolves for the AI era
The ideal person will have strong experience with React, Next.js, and TypeScript, and a genuine interest in platform engineering and developer productivity.
This is a great role for someone who enjoys solving problems for engineers and wants to have a wider impact across a large engineering function.
