• Design and implement critical features and platform components – this is an active coding role. • Own technical architecture decisions: system design, service boundaries, data modelling, and API contracts. • Lead code and design reviews, setting the technical bar and coaching engineers through them. • Resolve complex engineering challenges, performance bottlenecks, and cross-cutting concerns. • Drive adoption of engineering best practices: TDD, CI/CD, observability, and security-by-design. • Lead a small agile team – run sprints, set goals, unblock engineers, and manage delivery commitments. • Mentor and develop engineers through regular 1:1s, feedback, and pair programming. • Collaborate with Product and Operations to refine roadmaps and translate requirements into technical plans. • Hire and onboard engineering talent in partnership with leadership. • Lead the team’s adoption of AI development tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot, AI-assisted testing) and build internal best practices. • Identify opportunities to embed AI/ML capabilities into the Radiant platform to enhance customer value. • Evaluate emerging AI tools and partner with leadership to define an AI strategy roadmap for engineering.
