• Strong technical fluency: you can discuss architecture, data models, and integration patterns with engineers confidently.
• A product mindset rooted in developer empathy: you love building systems that make other teams faster and more effective.
• Experience defining shared services or primitives that multiple product teams depend on (notifications, permissions, reporting frameworks, etc.).
