  • Own the technical quality of attendee-facing platforms, partnering closely with designers and product managers on production-ready experiences
  • Build and maintain component libraries and backend service modules aligned to design and architectural standards
  • Optimize application performance through code splitting, caching, database query optimization, and API efficiency improvements
  • Drive technical excellence in code quality, performance, security, and system reliability, contributing to all phases of the SDLC in a Hybrid Engineering model
  • Mentor and inspire team members through code reviews, architectural guidance, and dedicated learning sessions
