- Lead major initiatives from technical design through implementation, launch, and operational readiness, including ingestion sources, indexing and serving improvements, and automated content-generation workflows.
- Build and improve reliable pipelines and services, establishing strong quality controls, observability, dashboards, alerting, and incident-ready runbooks.
- Drive disciplined experimentation and measurement in partnership with Product, Data, and other teams to evaluate impact, identify regressions, and continuously improve acquisition performance.
- Analyze performance across rankings, traffic, conversion, and other growth metrics to guide technical and product decisions.
- Mentor engineers, conduct design and code reviews, establish engineering standards, and help raise the overall technical quality of the team.
