Serve as a technical lead for a small team of developers — coaching, pairing, and uplifting them through code review and mentorship, driving adoption of AI-assisted development methods, and acting as the technical point of contact for your area. Assist in evaluating products for being well-architected and well-managed, and work closely with the Information Security Office and Enterprise Cloud to ensure security and regulatory compliance requirements are met.
