Desired Candidate Profile

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Scope & Impact

• Own and deliver multi-quarter, multi-team product or platform goals, defining technical solutions that level up the entire team

• Make independent technical decisions in the face of open-ended requirements, with a deep understanding of business context and customer needs

• Drive cross-team or cross-discipline initiatives, optimizing beyond your immediate team for broader organizational impact

Technical Craft

• Design the software and systems in your area of ownership, ensuring they meet their design objectives and align with longer-term business needs

• Handle complex software modules that are logically dense — whether from business, idempotence, robustness, or scalability requirements

• Simplify code and infrastructure, prioritizing tasks that measurably reduce maintenance and migration costs

• Preemptively identify and resolve technical risks before they jeopardize projects; resolve cross-team dependencies early

• Debug and reproduce non-deterministic bugs and system issues that would normally escape less experienced engineers

• Champion an AI-first engineering culture — actively adopt and advocate for AI tools and assistants to maximize productivity, accelerate delivery, and multiply your team's impact

Leadership & Strategy

• Define the technical roadmap for complex projects, provide leadership for those executing on it, and generate excitement for the team's strategy

• Set and hold the bar for quality and best practices via code and design reviews

• Act as a Culture Leader — partner with your manager to set the cultural tone, foster psychological safety, and champion inclusive practices

• Coach and mentor teammates, offering direct and actionable feedback delivered with empathy to help others grow into the next level

• Represent Lulu's mission, strategy, and technical challenges to candidates in a compelling way
