- Provide solutions that set precedent for engineering standards, design patterns, and best practices across teams
- Negotiate complex or risky technical business issues on behalf of the company, including vendor evaluations, architectural trade-offs, and technology adoption decisions
- Independently define project scope, establish budgets, identify participants, and mitigate risk for major engineering initiatives
- Consult with management to determine project priorities and objectives with long-term strategic implications
- Act as a mentor to less experienced engineering staff, providing technical guidance, code reviews, and career development support
- Architect, implement, and govern AWS Serverless solutions (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, Step Functions, EventBridge) at enterprise scale
- Design, develop, and maintain responsive, high-performance front-end applications using React
- Build and optimize back-end services and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) using Node.js
- Ensure scalability, security, and performance across the full stack, establishing organizational standards
- Define and implement Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline strategies for automated testing, deployment, and monitoring
- Translate complex business requirements into technical solutions through cross-functional collaboration with product, operations, and leadership teams
