Think global, build global: Define a unified data model and lead complex migrations (shadowing, dual-writes, safe rollbacks) to deliver a seamless worldwide experience
Make customer impact real: Prioritize work that drives adoption, win-rates, and retention—closing feature and integration gaps for SMBs and enterprises alike
Supercharge brokers & admins: Build dashboards, alerts, and insights that surface under-used benefits and drive real engagement
Be the connector: Align infra, security, compliance, and product stakeholders; communicate tradeoffs clearly; and keep programs on track from kickoff to delivery
Innovate & lead: Own architectural decisions, drive full product lifecycle delivery, and set the standard for technical excellence
Collaborate & execute: Partner across teams, bring customer feedback into the roadmap, and ship with urgency and impact
Mentor & inspire: Uplift teammates, guide junior engineers, and foster a culture of curiosity, craftsmanship, and bold thinking
