- Collaborate daily with Product Managers, Business Development Managers, external carrier technical teams and leadership, Engineering Managers, Software Development Managers, Operations Managers, Application Security teams, and AWS Support teams to align technical delivery with business objectives
- Create mechanisms and processes that increase team effectiveness, reduce repeated engineering effort, and enable scaling without proportional overhead increases
