Explore better ways of working with AI You’ll look for opportunities to augment engineering experiences with AI better guidance, smarter recommendations, clearer context, and more natural interactions. And you’ll help ensure this is done responsibly and securely
Be a partner and facilitator You’ll work closely with architects, engineers to understand their needs, align on problems, test ideas quickly, and close the loop with clear updates. You’ll help create a working culture that values communication, curiosity, and continuous learning
Provide leadership through clarity and empathy You’ll guide others toward better UX patterns, stronger security practices, and more coherent platform standards. You’ll help shape technical direction while balancing multiple perspectives users, platform owners, security, and business goals
