Responsibilities
Own the coordination ceremonies and touch points across frontend, backend, smart contracts, and SRE/DevOps so engineering stays technically aligned and the efforts grounded in actual product requirements
Provide guidance on architecture across the stack by aligning interfaces across components and making sure they fit together cleanly, while being mindful of dependencies and how design choices affect future flexibility
Define and prioritize technical work by balancing roadmap features against refactors and other engineering needs, and collaborate with Product on acceptance criteria so priorities reflect both strategic goals and practical trade-offs
Promote E2E production health by driving cultural practices and principles - for tests, release discipline, monitoring, and incident response - that make quality and security a default
Strengthen the team by mentoring engineers at every level and documenting critical knowledge and reference material so the team is always growing and without being dependent on any single person
Code! Even in a leadership role, the best way to understand and improve the stack is by working with it and writing code - frontend, backend, or contracts - reviewing peers’ work, and getting your hands dirty to help ship features!
