- Participate in architecture discussions, code reviews, and technical decision-making.
- Own problems end-to-end, from discovery through deployment and iteration.
- Collaborate directly with customers and internal stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver impactful solutions.
- Influence product strategy, user experience, engineering processes, and company culture as an early employee.
