Collaborate across functions to shape the product roadmap and turn ideas into technical specifications and deliverables.
Mentor and support team members in their technical growth.
Lead the team in adopting and integrating relevant tools, frameworks, and modern engineering practices (e.g. unit testing).
Contribute hands-on code where necessary and perform code reviews.
