Project Delivery & Execution (Assessed by Head of Engineering & Product Leadership) - Coordinate feature delivery from scoping to release, ensuring 95% of sprint commitments are met, with variances documented in Jira and justified to stakeholders. - Drive end-to-end web development, solution design, coding, testing (unit and integration), and deployment, using CI/CD pipelines, with releases logged in Git. - Identify and resolve blockers within 48 hours, escalating unresolved issues to the Head of Engineering with a detailed action plan and timeline. - Oversee production support, ensuring squad response to critical bugs within 24 hours, tracked via incident reports and post-mortems. 4. Communication & Stakeholder Engagement (Assessed by Product & Delivery Leads) - Serve as the squad’s primary liaison, providing weekly updates on progress, risks, and dependencies via email or Confluence to product, design, and engineering leads. - Collaborate with product managers and designers during fortnightly touchpoints to refine requirements, ensuring technical feasibility within 48 hours of feedback. - Document all major technical decisions (e.g., architecture choices, trade-offs) in Confluence, securing CTO or Head of Engineering sign-off for high-impact changes. - Facilitate squad alignment through daily stand-ups, logging key outcomes in Jira to maintain transparency across the teams. 5. Culture & Continuous Improvement (Assessed by Peer Feedback & Squad Metrics) - Foster a squad culture of craftsmanship and collaboration, maintaining a 90%+ team satisfaction score in bi-annual surveys on leadership and support. - Lead by example in code quality, ensuring all pull requests meet the company´s standards (e.g., 90% test coverage, linting compliance) before merging. - Propose and implement one process improvement per quarter (e.g., faster builds, better tooling), quantifying benefits (e.g., 20% velocity increase) in a report to leadership. - Contribute to the company´s fast-paced engineering vibe by celebrating wins (e.g., via Slack shoutouts) and addressing squad concerns within 72 hours.

Technical Contribution & Architecture (30%) - Deliver production React code for at least two high-impact web features per quarter, with fewer than three critical bugs post-release, tracked in Jira. - Implement one architectural enhancement (e.g., state refactor, lazy loading) per review cycle, with measurable gains (e.g., 15% faster page loads) documented. - Ensure 100% of major designs are scalable and signed off by the Head of Engineering, with no rework required within 90 days. 2. Squad Delivery & Velocity (25%) - Achieve 95% sprint completion rate, with all missed deadlines explained in sprint retrospectives and mitigated in the next cycle. - Resolve or escalate blockers within 48 hours, with zero instances of unaddressed delays exceeding 72 hours, per Jira logs. - Deliver web features meeting the company´s performance benchmarks (e.g., Lighthouse score >85), validated by QA within two iterations. 3.
