You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to understand their needs and translate them into technical requirements. Your responsibilities will include leading architectural discussions, mentoring junior engineers, and driving best practices in code quality and system design. You will also be involved in performance tuning and optimization of existing systems, ensuring that they can handle increasing loads as our user base grows.
