• Support Personnel Growth: Provide consistent feedback, coaching, and career development support, including conducting performance reviews, managing career paths, and promoting a growth-oriented environment.
• Collaborate on Strategic Initiatives: Report to the Software Engineering Manager and work closely with other team managers to achieve unified strategic objectives across the engineering function.
