  • Partner with Operations, Supply Chain, and Finance to translate manufacturing needs into scalable code that boosts throughput and slashes scrap.
  • Champion modern engineering practices: trunk based development, automated testing, infrastructure as code, Dev Sec Ops.
  • Track and communicate KPIs (deployment frequency, MTTR, cycle time) that tell the story of product health.
