- Collaborate with product and engineering leads to align technical planning with business needs
- Actively participate in coding, code reviews, and technical delivery
- Diagnose and resolve production issues, championing observability and fast recovery
- Establish and uphold engineering best practices, including test coverage, CI/CD workflows, and performance monitoring
- Improve developer experience and streamline engineering workflows
- Mentor engineers and foster a culture of continuous learning and collaboration
Qualifications & Skills
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience
- 2+ years of hands-on experience with Go in production systems
- 2+ years in a tech lead or team lead capacity, driving architecture and mentoring engineers
