• Drive engineering best practices (e.g., Operational Excellence, Security, Quality, etc.) and set standards across your team and wider engineering teams.
• Innovate within your team, initiative area and contribute within your technical domain.
• Identify opportunities to simplify and remove friction for engineers throughout the SDLC.
• Enable the Developer Experience (DX) team to offer solutions that increase productivity and reduce friction.
• Drive efforts to build stronger partnerships between Product Engineering (PE) and DX.

What you'll get to learn

• Working with the cloud/AWS and the opportunities that it brings.
• Solving real world problems and being comfortable working in a complex regulated environment.
