Additionally, you will troubleshoot and debug issues, ensuring seamless operations and minimal downtime of the platform.
You will define clear solutions within the team for the group to execute against, act as a trusted mentor and coach to your colleagues, advocate for compliance with engineering controls, and lead key engineering decisions in a collaborative and inclusive environment that values diverse perspectives.
