Lead architectural decisions across team boundaries, defining APIs, data models, and cross-service integration patterns that accommodate future scale
Design systems that evaluate trade-offs across reliability, performance, cost, and operational complexity; drive cross-team technical alignment on shared infrastructure and platform improvements
Utilize HTML/CSS, React, Node.js, Java, and Scala in system development
Leverage AI-assisted development tools and agentic workflows throughout the engineering lifecycle — from code generation and debugging to automated PR reviews, test creation, and CI/CD optimization
Champion AI-augmented engineering practices across the team, driving adoption of tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and internal AI platforms to accelerate development velocity
Contribute to building AI-powered advertising features by collaborating with ML engineers on LLM integrations, recommendation systems, and intelligent campaign management capabilities
Learn and apply new technologies as needed, both from external sources and eBay's internal tech stack.
Participate in our internal open source community to share and collaborate on projects and codebases.
