- Introduce performance and error telemetry (RUM, Sentry, traces, usage analytics) with actionable dashboards and KPIs.
- Mentor engineers through design critiques, pairing, and growth plans to foster T-shaped skill development.
- Influence design system evolution for reusable, themeable component patterns to accelerate feature velocity.
- Implement secure auth/session flows (OAuth 2.0, token lifecycles, PII handling) and enforce least privilege.
- Advocate for deletion of obsolete code paths and redundant APIs; document rationale for simplification.
- Align modernization and feature delivery with business outcomes such as retention, task completion time, booking conversion, and reliability.
- Participate on-call rotation for Escapia services and contribute to incident postmortems and reliability improvements.
