- Work collaboratively to solve complex issues while facilitating learning opportunities for other team members
- Helps the team make sound technical choices in aggregate, drives technical projects, and leads other engineers effectively while acting as a key communicator and facilitator of the team’s work
- Works to develop empathy for all disciplines within an engineering org, and uses their understanding to help the team make better decisions
