Translate between technical and non-technical audiences to ensure clarity, alignment, and buy-in. Code Craftsmanship: Write clear, testable, and maintainable code. Establish patterns and best practices that your team can follow, ensuring long-term scalability and reliability. Build for Quality & Sustainability: Design extensible systems, balance tech debt, plan careful rollouts, and own the quality of your work through post-launch monitoring. Think Product, Not Just Code: Approach problems with a product mindset; care about business impact as well as technical design. Mentor & Elevate: Coach engineers on your team by sharing patterns, practices, and critical thinking to raise the technical bar and foster sustainable engineering. What You Bring
Proven experience leading technical projects at scale, including planning, execution, and stakeholder management. Strong full-stack engineering skills, with deep knowledge of modern web development practices, API design, and system design. Clear and persuasive communication skills — ability to articulate tradeoffs and influence decisions across teams. A mindset that balances urgency with craftsmanship: shipping fast without sacrificing quality. Creativity and adaptability — you think beyond the obvious and move product and business forward. A track record of mentoring engineers and helping teams grow. If this role interests you, we invite you to explore our public demo at demo.mercury.com.
