  • Actively contribute to the codebase via pair programming, writing features, fixing bugs, and participating in code reviews while balancing this hands-on work with people leadership responsibilities.
  • Partner with product managers, UX designers, and business stakeholders to define clear priorities, set goals, and align the team’s work with broader organizational objectives.
  • Balance long-term technical investments with near-term feature delivery to ensure sustained team velocity and product impact.
  • Drive the execution of complex features by guiding implementation decisions, resolving blockers, and fostering accountability.
  • Own and support the team’s systems in a high-volume, customer-facing production environment, ensuring uptime, performance, and reliability.
  • Collaborate with principal and senior engineers to influence technical direction, ensure sound architectural choices, and maintain code quality.
  • Coach and directly supervise individual contributors, providing performance feedback, career development support, and technical mentorship.
  • Foster the adoption and evolution of Avant’s engineering culture through consistent communication, modeling best practices, and celebrating team wins.
  • Communicate team progress and challenges to leadership, providing clarity and transparency.
  • Promote continuous improvement through retrospectives, process tuning, and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Support recruiting and onboarding efforts to build and scale high-performing teams.
