Own delivery health: sprint/iteration hygiene, predictable execution, and strong on-call/incident practices.
Drive architecture decisions across front-end, back-end (tRPC encouraged), and deployment (Docker + CI/CD).
Build a culture of ownership, feedback, and continuous improvement across teams.

Ideal Qualifications
