• Lead architectural decisions across team boundaries, defining APIs, data models, and cross-service integration patterns that accommodate future scale

• Design systems that evaluate trade-offs across reliability, performance, cost, and operational complexity; drive cross-team technical alignment on shared infrastructure and platform improvements

• Utilize HTML/CSS, React, Node.js, Java, and Scala in system development

• Leverage AI-assisted development tools and agentic workflows throughout the engineering lifecycle — from code generation and debugging to automated PR reviews, test creation, and CI/CD optimization

• Champion AI-augmented engineering practices across the team, driving adoption of tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and internal AI platforms to accelerate development velocity

• Contribute to building AI-powered advertising features by collaborating with ML engineers on LLM integrations, recommendation systems, and intelligent campaign management capabilities

• Learn and apply new technologies as needed, both from external sources and eBay's internal tech stack.

• Commit to a continuous integration and deployment pipeline, ensuring smooth and quick releases.

• Work within a multi-disciplinary Agile team to deliver incremental value to our customers swiftly.
