To thrive in this role, you'll need deep technical expertise, good oral and written communication skills, and the ability to deliver beautiful code, while providing guidance to your team. You know the importance of good documentation and enjoy carefully crafting words that help onboard other teams members faster. Through your actions, your team will successfully build, deliver, and release products into the world.
