Track your work in GitHub to ensure it remains a reusable asset for the wider team.</li> <li>Set and uphold engineering standards through architecture reviews, GitHub-based pull request reviews, and pairing that other developers build against.</li> <li>Lead story and backlog refinement with the Product Owner, surfacing technical constraints and tradeoffs early, and looking around the corner to shape the roadmap before problems become urgent.</li> <li>Serve as the go-to domain expert for Sales Ops, Marketing Ops, RevOps, and senior leadership. You will translate complex architectural decisions into language that resonates with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.</li> <li>Mentor developers on system design, code quality, and tradeoff thinking, building the muscle for others to make good architectural calls without you in the room.</li> </ul><div class="content-pay-transparency"><div class="pay-input"><div class="description"><p><strong>Massachusetts Applicants:<br></strong>It is unlawful in Massachusetts to require or administer a lie detector test as a condition of employment or continued employment.
