• Provide overall project design and estimates for business and technology strategy needs during project scoping phases.
• Mentor other engineers to make sound technical decisions and help build effective software engineering practices, especially in adopting formal testing as part of the software development process.
• Promote good software engineering habits, such as clean code principles, security, tech debt balance, TDD, and “going end-to-end early”.
• Own, diagnose, and resolve complex system technical issues and code defects.
