As a senior engineer at Multiverse, I have technical leadership responsibilities, and focus on both technical excellence and team development while maintaining a strong hands-on engineering presence. My job can be summed as follows:

• Technical leadership and systems design: I regularly lead technical discovery work to ensure we make the best decision at the time, contribute to architectural decisions, collaborate on cross-team technical solutions, and communicate with the appropriate level of details about all the aforementioned tasks

• Engineering and development: I am a full-stack engineer with a focus on backend work mainly using Elixir for building user-facing features and critical back-end systems. I’m also involved in maintaining those systems and care very much about tech debt management and system improvements.

• Mentorship and team development: on top of being involved in hiring, I have onboarded about a dozen engineers and delivered elixir training to many more. I have mentored and coaches several apprentices and support my team members in their professional growth.

• Quality and processes: I aim to maintain a good code quality by completing thorough code reviews, managing incidents and following post mortem to learn from our mistakes, supporting our product, identifying bugs and ensuring their resolution is prioritised and monitoring our alerts and performance.

• Project leadership: I have feature led of big initiatives, which includes technical and product discovery management, release planning, stakeholders management (including c-level), cross-functional and cross-team collaboration and delivery planning and estimation

• Full-stack engineer in the Product Engineering team, working alongside product managers and designers on the Customer Account and Internal tools

• Feature lead for the complete upgrade of the Viewing Feedback section of the Customer Account and corresponding internal tool for agents to provide immediate feedback to sellers after viewings. Feature leading included working with the Product Manager and Designer to produce high quality user interface and experience, scoping the work for engineers, presenting technical challenges and gathering post-release metrics to measure impact

• Contribute to all parts of the stack following TDD principles, writing extensive unit and integration tests
