• Encourage experimentation, continuous improvement, refactoring, and automation to reduce toil and improve engineering effectiveness
• Support the thoughtful adoption of AI-assisted development and testing tools that improve developer productivity and software quality
• Stay technically engaged and contribute to development, design discussions, code reviews, or complex troubleshooting when appropriate.
• Collaborate with Product Managers, Product Owners, Technical Leads, Architects, Quality Assurance, and other Development Managers to deliver high-quality customer outcomes
