Technical Strategy & Architecture: Own the technical roadmap for the live platform, make sound system design trade-offs, write Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), and prioritize technical debt.
Cross-Functional Stakeholder Management: Partner closely with Commercial leaders and Campaign Management to translate technical realities into business language.
Hands-on Technical Oversight: Conduct critical code reviews, lead incident response, and drive critical bug resolution or technical debt triage.
