Your projects may range from enhancing a JS/CSS asset compiler and optimizing network performance with HTTP/2, to developing a logging library for UI clients and identifying and resolving bottlenecks in the build system. Along with collaborating with product teams to drive innovation, you'll lead and champion projects and communicate their impact to partner teams. You will also gather input and identify opportunities to help set a long-term technical strategy that continuously evolves the web platform to ensure it remains best-in-class.
