Experimentation & Data-Driven Development:

• Design and implement A/B tests and feature flags to validate hypotheses
• Instrument applications for analytics and monitoring
• Analyse user behaviour data to inform product decisions
• Use metrics to measure success and iterate on solutions

• Work seamlessly across app, cloud, backend, and embedded systems teams
• Communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• Participate actively in product planning and prioritisation discussions
• Mentor other engineers and contribute to our engineering culture
