## What they're looking for

- Set the bar in design review and code review by demonstrating it
- Raise the standard for testing, observability, and operational readiness across the Data org
- Turn repeated solutions into reusable primitives. Document them so the next team does not need you
- Grow the next set of technical leaders. Pair, mentor, and hand off ownership
- Design and build the interfaces where Shippo's application services meet our ML and data systems. Write the reference implementation, not only the design doc
- Author technical RFCs to guide data, API, and application architecture. Run the reviews that make those decisions hold
