• Produce well-designed, scalable and reusable code
• Participating in code and design reviews, setting a high bar for the team
• Be able to work effectively across functions and teams to ensure deliverables are met.
• Design and build large features (each with many tasks) independently without guidance.

• Collaborate with product managers and other stakeholders.
• Take initiative and produce timely results in a fast-paced and sometimes ambiguous environment.
• Mentor more junior engineers.
• Create and add to existing technical documentation.
