- Lead modernization work in key surfaces (for example, Create Flow and Reporting) by moving legacy code to modern React patterns, GraphQL/Relay and shared validation and state-management frameworks.
- Improve Ads Manager stability and developer velocity by strengthening tests, hardening deploy pipelines and tightening monitoring and alerting for critical advertiser flows.
- Partner with product and platform teams across Ads Manager and core infrastructure to define platform patterns and land cross-team changes safely and incrementally.
- Use AI assistants to accelerate coding, refactors and test creation for migrations and feature work, while applying your own judgement to review, adapt and validate all
