• Design tooling and infrastructure that improve developer experience and delivery throughput (bundling, build pipelines, performance monitoring, shared runtime modules)
• Collaborate with Product, Platform, and Infrastructure teams to ensure a consistent, reliable, and high-performing application architecture
• Mentor engineers in architectural thinking, platform engineering, testing strategies, and performance optimization
