• Identify opportunities to embed AI/ML capabilities into product systems (e.g., personalization, automation, workflow optimization).
• Improve engineering velocity using AI tooling without compromising quality, security, or compliance.
• Drive cloud-native architecture practices using Docker and Kubernetes.
• Partner with DevOps to strengthen CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and deployment safety.
• Establish best practices for observability, alerting, incident response, and postmortems.
• Proactively identify and mitigate scalability, performance, and reliability risks across web, mobile, and backend.
• Collaborate with product, design, data, clinical, and business teams to translate complex requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Influence roadmap decisions through strong technical insight and execution planning.
• Lead cross-team initiatives, ensuring alignment on architecture, delivery sequencing, and long-term maintainability.
• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Mentor senior and mid-level engineers on system design, technical decision-making, and full stack best practices.
• Raise engineering standards through code reviews, design feedback, and technical coaching.
• Promote shared ownership and a culture of engineering excellence and continuous improvement.
• Drive adoption of shared libraries, patterns, and platform capabilities across teams.

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including meaningful ownership of full stack systems in production environments.
