You'll also need a proven track record optimizing complex UI systems for performance, including rendering optimization, network efficiency, and state management at scale. Experience leading technical strategy for a product area, including architecture decisions, trade-off analysis, and cross-team alignment for multi-quarter initiatives is also required. You should also have demonstrated success mentoring senior engineers and driving measurable improvements in team engineering standards and delivery velocity. Familiarity with high-availability, low-latency systems (trading platforms, financial systems, or real-time data applications preferred) is also necessary.
