• Break down complex problems into clear implementation plans for engineering teams and AI coding agents
• Review and validate AI-generated code to ensure quality, maintainability, and alignment with requirements
• Make key architectural and technical design decisions
• Drive engineering best practices across testing, CI/CD, observability, and software quality
• Collaborate closely with infrastructure, QA, and delivery teams throughout the development lifecycle
• Champion modern AI-assisted and agentic software development practices
• Ensure solutions are secure, scalable, and maintainable in production
