As a senior technical leader, you will: Own and evolve the architecture of Fin's web platform. Define the long-term technical strategy for the web team, focusing on scalability, performance, developer productivity, observability, and system reliability.

Set the standard for technical excellence in reliability, maintainability, code quality, and operational readiness. Provide technical leadership and insight to Engineering Managers, Product Managers, and executive stakeholders - communicating risks, trade-offs, and opportunities clearly.
