- **Technical Leadership**: Serve as the technical point of reference for the squad and broader engineering team, ensuring best practices and architectural standards are upheld.
- **Solution Design**: Lead the design and architectural discussions, making pivotal decisions on technologies, frameworks, and design patterns.
- **Code Quality**: Advocate for and ensure the delivery of high-quality, maintainable, and scalable code. Conduct regular code reviews and provide mentorship to team members.
- **Collaboration**: Work closely with product managers, designers, and other stakeholders to understand requirements, provide technical insights, and ensure the timely delivery of features.
- **Strategy and Vision**: Contribute to the engineering department's strategy and vision, bringing innovative ideas to improve our tutor-facing and tutor-supply platforms.
- **Problem Solving**: Address complex technical challenges, innovate solutions, and optimize existing systems for scalability and performance.
- **Team Development**: Mentor and develop team members, helping them to grow in their technical roles and careers.
