- Estimate work across projects that span multiple product areas, including time, resource, skill, sequencing, dependency, and risk considerations
- Proactively identify technologies, tools, frameworks, patterns, or automation opportunities that improve engineering effectiveness, delivery speed, quality, reliability, or business outcomes
- Construct and deliver proposed solution strategies for new technologies, engineering practices, automation opportunities, and agentic tooling patterns; partner with architecture and engineering leadership to review and approve proposals
- Mentor and coach other software engineers in software design, engineering practices, AI-assisted development, effective use of agentic tools, testing discipline, and operational ownership
- Proactively seek mentorship, feedback, and technical perspective from peers, principal engineers, architects, product partners, and leadership
- Lead the effort in defining and improving the engineering lifecycle and practices for the team and associated teams in partnership with principal engineers and engineering leadership
- Drive collaboration across multiple teams; find ways to increase team output by enabling others, improving shared practices, reducing friction, and scaling knowledge
- Anticipate business needs and present technical options, tradeoffs, risks, and recommendations to leadership, product managers, and business stakeholders
- Continuously improve team processes by identifying repeatable work that can be automated, accelerated, or enhanced through tooling, scripts, templates, AI agents, CI/CD improvements, monitoring, or documentation patterns
- Other duties or responsibilities as assigned according to the team and/or country-specific requirements
