• Be able to work with the QA team to guarantee the quality of the product.


• Must have a high level understanding for key security needs.


• Apply an exceptionally high-quality bar to the core technical design decisions - data structures, algorithms, architectural patterns, and the leverage of third-party implementations


• Utilize other architects as force-multipliers, mentoring them by providing high-quality feedback on their work


• Synthesize your decisions and designs into clear and structured written specs

What You Won’t Be Doing
