On a day-to-day basis, this means: managing and coaching the engineering team to make sure the right work is getting done in line with best practices; reviewing and testing the outputs of that team; building processes and testing; architecting the future roadmap of RapidCut to prevent obsolescence, and hands-on development for projects that require your level of senior engineering.
