• Global readiness (i18n, a11y, performance): Ensure high performance across varying network conditions and localized support for multiple languages and regional data standards.
• Engineering excellence and security: Build a testing strategy and implement CI/CD quality gates, bundle analysis, and static checks.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with UX/UI designers to bridge the gap between high-fidelity designs and technical feasibility, and with backend teams to define robust API contracts.
• Team Mentorship: Mentor engineers, lead code reviews, establish engineering standards and playbooks, and contribute to hiring and onboarding
