- Partner with Product to shape ambiguous ideas into useful customer workflows, challenge low-value requirements, and offer practical alternatives.
- Turn data science prototypes, analytics concepts, and platform capabilities into production-grade product experiences.
- Bring strong software engineering practices into a data-heavy team through technical design, code review, mentoring, testing, and delivery patterns.
- Help data engineers take on more software engineering work across frontend, backend, APIs, product decomposition, and production readiness.
- Collaborate across Built where data products integrate with application surfaces, platform capabilities, agents, or customer workflows.
- Use customer signals, usage data, product feedback, support issues, and discovery learnings to guide engineering decisions.

- Strong experience with TypeScript, Node.js, React, and modern web application architecture.
- Experience with Python or demonstrated ability to work effectively in Python-based systems.
- Experience designing APIs, service boundaries, reusable application patterns, and production backend systems.
- Ability to write high-quality, maintainable code with strong instincts for testing, readability, observability, and operational ownership.
- Strong technical communication skills, including design docs, architecture discussions, and tradeoff analysis.
- Collaborative leadership style with the ability to challenge product direction constructively and mentor engineers without condescension.
- Bias toward customer value over technology for technology’s sake.

## PREFERRED

- Experience building data-heavy product experiences, analytics products, reporting workflows, benchmarking tools, dashboards, or decision-support products.
